Now that I'm back active again I feel as though I ought to start tracking countries and squares worked on VHF and the best way to do this has to be electronically.
I've been using Minos for my logging in a Windows virtual machine so I can export the logs in .EDI format (if that's any use) but I'd rather have some native OS X software that I can import those logs into and add entries manually. If I give away a few points in a contest then I'm not going to fire up Minos for that, I write them in my logbook. Yes, I still keep a paper log!
So is there any logging software for the Mac that I can use which will import my Minos log files and allow me to enter QSOs manually as well? I'd then like to be able to pull off stats such as squares and countries and even plot a map showing which squares I've worked over a set period of time (because it's good to know what I do each year).

Many radio operators participate in on-air meetings called nets. From ham radio clubs or groups of friends who want to stay in touch to emergency response and weather spotting teams practicing for emergency communications, on simplex frequencies and repeaters, both planned and spontaneous, there are on-air meetings going on somewhere at almost any time.
WCS Radio Net Logger software is your convenient, free, solution for keeping track of your net operations. With this software, you can log the frequency details (frequency, tone, offset, notes) as well as net participant information (name, call sign, notes and more).
Net information is displayed on screen in the user-friendly interface and reports can be saved to text files for later reference. This data can also be exported to extensible markup language (XML) files. These data files can later be imported back into the software to review the net and participant information or to make changes. This also makes it easy to share the net info with others who weren’t able to check in to the net.
