Many thanks for your email, which I'm sure we all appreciated. I fully understand your position about automatic uploads. I can see that a functionality used as frequently as that and which depends on real time integration with other (third party) systems is likely to lead to more requests for assistance. With regard to UDP interfacing locally with other applications running on the same PC, that does seem to to be the functionality which most of us seeking some upgrades would dearly love to see, please. I do hope that you find time to look further into that aspect, please. We all agree that Jim AD1C does a superb job with support generally and especially with the country database and award files. (Thank you again, Jim.) 73 and keep safe everyone, Ian G4iiY ________________________________ From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net <dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net> on behalf of Paul van der Eijk <pvandere...@gmail.com> Sent: 17 April 2020 02:04 To: DX4WIN Reflector <dx4win@mailman.qth.net> Subject: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Hi, Having read most, most likely all, messages I want to share some of my thoughts. 1. Automatic uploads, possibly one QSO at a time, is not in my plans. My main reason is that I expect that it requires more support than I'm willing to provide. If something goes wrong, they call or write me while it may have nothing to do with DX4WIN. Think about issues with certificate changes, server not responsive etc. I simply do not have the time or desire to add this to my support load. Using an ADIF file is a nice separation between DX4WIN and other applications processing such file. Note that I get plenty of emails regarding lost or misplaced license files etc. A number of users do not like to use the reflector for a support question, so I field those. 2. Interfacing with other applications UDP Have to admit, that so far I have not found out how to do this. I would like to support such an interface. Jim, AD1C, provides great support maintaining the country database, the custom awards etc etc. He also helps users that ask him for help. I also want to recognize the users of the reflector who are willing to put in their time to help other users. I think some of you have the wrong idea about the company behind DX4WIN. It is literally a one-man show. I'm retired and I'm glad to have a reasonable retirement income. Income from DX4WIN is nice but it does not feed the family!
