Band Master is a program for Radio Amateurs that downloads DX spots
and displays them in different ways, including a graphical band map.
It can be used either as a stand alone application or as part of
a logging or contesting software via the COM/OLE interface.

Rig control, country/province resolution, azimuth/distance calculation
and online QRZ lookup are built-in, propagation prediction
and geographical mapping are available through integration
with HamCap and DX Atlas respectively:
