Re: [Dx4win] LOTW
Yes, the intent is that if logging programs export full station locations, this will stop bogus uploads. If loggers don't export the QTH data, nothing changes. And, you can always turn this off. 73, -Rick On Tue, Apr 7, 2020 at 8:41 PM WA7AA wrote: > On 07-Apr-20 17:29, Rick Murphy wrote: > > Just for the record, I use DX4WIN.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Will Not Start
Was hoping someone had the right answer before I started speculating. Not sure, but I think some things are cleaned up deleting (or rename for now) "config.dat" in SAVE directory. Worth a try. Might have to reset all your configurations if you have not saved. I can rename members.dat to .datx and DX4WIN still launches so something else.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Will Not Start
I had the same problem after an update failed. Wound up changing the home directory name for dx4win, and then downloading and installing a new version of dx4win. Before moving everything over to the new install, needed to run the update. Then just moved my license file, log files, and preferences over to the new one install. Now works like a champ!
