best way to connect a K3-S to a PC so I can automate some of the repetition
of contest work
Welcome back to contesting. Like you, I started contesting as a
teenager, drifted in and out of ham radio several times in 60 years, and
have been quite active for the last 13 years. N6XI has given you great
advice. I'll only add to it.
First, unless you want to spend your time with computer issues, stick
with Windoze -- pickin's for software get slim in other OSs. For
day-to-day logging, use DXKeeper, which does everything anyone might
need. It's part of a FREEWARE suite of programs. Very mature, bug free,
well supported. Supports LOTW and eQSL almost automatically once you're
set up.
For contest logging, go with N1MM Logger Plus, also FREEWARE, and well
supported. The only viable alternatives, WriteLog and WinTest cost
money. N1MM is superior to WriteLog. Some swear by WinTest.
