	My dad being a radio amateur and all (VK3TGF) I'll try and be the best  help I can.  As far as design and propagation programs go I can't help you.    WWith logging, why not do as my dad did and write yourself a simple little basic routine, and as far as packet communications go, Access 1.4 is the way to go, or at least so i have it on good authority.  Other than that, I'm sorry but i can't help you no more...
