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

And if Paul (developer) were to implement these things you ask for, would you be willing to pay for it? The man and his family have to eat too. Or how about this, would you be willing to pay an annual fee for upgrades to DX4WIN ? Other loggers with robust features demand this. I too am a very

There is no reason why we all have to be resigned to the fact that DX4WIN must be frozen in time and there will never be any more enhancements. Paul, after a seven year hiatus, recently added FT4 and FT8 as new modes and provided support for QRZ.COM XML integration, along with some other nice

Hello Luc, Try this: File > Awards > WAZ > Confirmation. Make sure both QSL Card and LoTW are checked. When DX4WIN was written, WAZ did not accept LoTW confirmations. -- 73, Mike Cizek W0VTT -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net

Hello. A doubt. I have just been confirmed via LoTW a QSO of the year 1999, and curiously it is one of the zones that I was missing in 10 meters, just zone 18. I import the LoTW file into the DX4WIN, and indeed, when going to that QSO, the Y of confirmed appears in the LoTW box. Later I ask for

As long as you are happy with whatever logging program you are using and you are having fun with the hobby, that's all that matters. Some people drive Fords and some people drive Chevrolets. What ever turns you on. The main thing is, have fun. 73 Bruce WD4LBR

rue Bruce, the search is just great with DX4Win. But the program is not being adapted to the changes in our ham world... FT8, LoTW, Clublog... Is it that hard to implement these improvements ? All other programs do that, why can't Clublog do it too ? Is it that hard ? But no matter what we

Tim It is not a question of being satisfied, it is a question of being totally ignored by the developpers. Yes, DX4Win does a lot of nice things, it does everything most hams expect from a logging program. But any request for update is totally ignored : no reply whatsoever. But I am repeating

Goodbye Norma Jean, goodbye DX4win. After much deliberation, I decided that DX4win was no longer my choice after 20+ years of use. The main reason is Paul's lack of collaboration and waiting for updates on the dropper. We all paid this program fairly and stayed on it thanks to the JIm AD1C.
