I am looking for Amateur Radio related software for the Amiga.  Time
was that the C64 was the most popular computer with hams, but except
for those doing TV, many of them took a "wrong turn" when they bought
a newer machine.  As a result, most of the popular programs run under
"messy dos."  Does any one know of some *really good* programs for the
following subjects?

ANTENNA DESIGN:  Especially something similar in capability to Mininec
or Yagi Optimizer.

LOGGING:  Configurable for specific contests, keeps track of contacts
for awards like Worked All States and DXCC.

PROPAGATION FORCASTING:  There was a useful program for this on the
C64.  It used sunspot numbers to predict usable frequencies.

PACKET RADIO OPERATING:  It irks me everytime I read an ad for model
XYZ packet interface which comes with software for computer type "I",
and type "M", but not Amiga.
