First, thanks for the suggestions and discussion.  Keep it going :-) 
it's been interesting thus far and not terribly surprising.

I'll give cqrlog a look.  I noticed it sitting in software center 
yesterday but I didn't look at it too closely.  Looking now, I do see 
that it's version 1.2.2, so I'll add that PPA and give it a whirl.

In any case, bear in mind that I don't necessarily have a problem with 
paper logs... my biggest issue is that I may not always have my notebook 
with me when I'm making contacts on the air, which leads to writing down 
log info on scraps of paper, arms, or whatever which can lead to lost 
log entries.

Also, thanks for the info on LoTW.  I thought it was more ... feature 
rich than eQSL, but admittedly, I've not really looked too closely at it 
until now as I always just associated those things with people who are 
really interested in contesting or awards like DXCC, where I am far 
more... casual.  I just like getting on the air and talking to people 
from time to time.

Anyway, need to grab breakfast and get ready to start work for the day.

Thanks again, 73 de Jeff
