Aether

Aether is a ham radio logging application for OS X. It includes tools to quickly and easily log QSOs while on the air, as well as organize, search and track your QSOs later. Aether was designed for OS X, and has the same kind of clean, intuitive, friendly interface you've come to expect on the Mac.
