I looked at HRD at the Visalia Intl DX Convention, even got a sample trial CD. I was looking at a way to use RTTY and digital modes directly from HRD where you could read what was being sent right within HRD and then send your reply. But it seems really complicated. He was using 2 monitors full of info. It would seem the learning curve would be big. When I asked how do you do a lookup of a station that you have just logged or are presently in QSO with it seemed like a difficult procedure on HRD whereas with DX4WIN you just have to have the CALLSIGN/MGR LOOKUP window (F3) open and click on the guys callsign and it takes you to his QRZ.COM lookup (or Buckmaster if you have it so programmed). Very simple.
I'm not sure but is HRD both a contesting and a general logging program? I am now using DX4WIN as my general logger and to track awards (DXCC, IOTA, WPX) and printing QSL labels and N1MM as my contest logger. Jim has a FB conversion program to convert a contest ADIF file to a DX4WIN.DXQ file to import to DX4WIN. I just used it again after last weekend's IOTA contest and DX4WIN now shows I logged a few new IOTA's.

It has a user editable file that can be updated as needed and can be mapped to a current mode if required for uploading to eQSL or LoTW. 73, Jim - N4ST -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jay Hainline Sent: Monday, July 29, 2013 16:31 To: Dx4win Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Wish list DX4WIN is still lagging way behind on keeping up with the newer digital modes and the signal reports used. Very poor when it comes to logging JT65-HF and the signal reports sent/received and it does not know about JT9 yet for example. :-( Jay Hainline KA9CFD Colchester, IL EN40om ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
