It seems now almost mandatory that every few years we get a few people
theatrically "leaving DX4Win" after not getting "upgrades". When pressed
on what those upgrades should be, the answer is either silence or a
vague hand motion about FT8 or some other digital flavor-of-the-day-mode
integration. Interestingly, when this happens, the bells-and-whistles
logger of choice seems to be different every time. This is always
followed by the obligatory "if it wasn't for AD1C...", but as invaluable
as Jim's hard work is, it is never explained just how these other
magical loggers are supposedly doing the same callsign/manager database
maintenance without his divine intervention.
Do we seriously need to compromise simplicity, reliability, and
familiarity of the logger we've been using for decades for an ever
increasing number of digital modes, online QSO repositories or whatever
will become a fad down the road? My vote is no. Leave DX4Win be.
73 & stay safe, everyone.
