Every time I try to connect to the AA7AA (Tucson) cluster, the program crashes and generates a bug report. (Sadly, I’m running DX4WIN in a VM on my Mac, and the VM isn’t configured to send outgoing mail.) Originally, I thought it may be skin-related, as I had just switched to both ‘macOS’ and

Yup, there's some nice graphics and the look-n-feel seems a little more modern (which you expect from a 'Mac' look-n-feel). The map is certainly sexier. But, the QSO window looks completely cluttered and less intuitive than DX4WIN. Given the amount of miscellaneous graphics, such as photos,

You can reduce the number of 'active' fields, and hence tabbing, through the Preferences' menus, if you're prepared to accept the defaults for the 'not displayed' fields. Ideally, a tool that allowed one to personalize the main QSO window, such as which fields are displayed, in what order, and

You may be getting confused with the Cnfm box in the QSO window. This has nothing to do with award status tracking. All this means is whether you have the QSL confirmed from the DX station: Y = Yes, I received the card. In the DXCC award box (in the same QSO window, further down), there will be
