Agree all the way. For daily logging and superb tracking (there are gobs of awards that can be tracked and user-defined fields if you need even more), I also have used DXLabs for quite some time (five or six years). There *is* somewhat of a learning curve. The author of the suite (who also co-hosts an excellent forum) recommends learning a specific piece, then learning another one and so forth.
If you're only interested in single-op situations, N1MM is also free and is pretty easy to set up. If you want to get involved in multi-rig or multi-op situations, it can be somewhat more complex. In either case, the N1MM forum has participation from the authors and is very, very well supported.
