Re: [Dx4win] Development
Hi Bruce Let's face it : the 2 major competitors to DX4Win are Logger32 and DXLab. Both are free, and very well supported. I am also thankfull to all our DX4W friends who kindly spend their time answering any questions. They basically do everything DX4Win does, plus other things. Yes I agree, DX4Win is intuitive, and I lilke the ease of searching through the log with several criteria (like all the QSO on 17m in CW with Chile for example). Other features are very nice too. One major difference is what I mentioned in my original message : easy and "automatic" interaction with LoTW and JTDX/WSJT. I have been testing L32, and could easily configure it so that each QSO is automatically uploaded to Clublog and to LoTW upon completion. No need to do anything to achieve that. When I make a contact in JTDX, the QSO is automatically transfered to L32, no mouse click whatsoever I wish DX4Win would allow the same possibilities. But even more important, lack of communications from the developpers is sort of unacceptable, keeping in mind the program is not free. And I am not talking about myself on this... So, what next ? 73 and stay away from the beast ! Paul F6EXV Le 04/04/2020 à 22:10, Bruce Blackley a écrit : I have been using Dx4Win for about 15 years. With the help of Dx4Win I have been able to track my contacts and have achieve the Honor Roll. It does everything I need and more. It is very easy to use and is very intuitive not like many of the other logging programs out there. Dx4Win is a bargain for what it does. I wouldn't change logging programs if someone paid me. If it's not broken, don't fix it.

Re: [Dx4win] Development
Paul, Try LogHX3. It can be setup to look and operate like DX4WIN, but has all the additional features that we have been asking for. In just one week, I have it up and running with 167,000 QSOs imported from DX4WIN. Alexei, RX4HX, appears to be very actively supporting it with frequent updates. I will continue to use DX4WIN for storing past dxpeditions, and I have been a long supporter of DX4WIN. But I will likely move to LogHx for everyday logging from my main station. I love the way it integrates with WSJT-X, MMTTY, FLDigi and other programs. It fully supports UDP broadcasts. It will automatically upload QSOs to Clublog, QRZ.COM and other websites. These are all features that I need to have especially as I get ready for the summer Es season on 6 meters. 73, Dave, N4QS -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Paul F6EXV Sent: Saturday, April 4, 2020 4:48 AM To: DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] Development Hi all Can we know if the developers' team is working on major improvement, especially on interaction with Clublog and LoTW ?

Re: [Dx4win] Development
Guy Thanks for your input. I disagree with you : to take a simple example, L32LogSync will (automatically for each QSO if you set it up this way) upload QSOs to ClubLog and/or LoTW very easily. JTDX and WSJT make provisions to send QSO directly to some logs, like Logger32 for example, and it is not the only one. We cannot log into DX4Win, and this requires an import of the whole WSJT log, duplicated included... These features are very usefull, and make our lifes easy. Whether QSOs are uploaded one by one, or every X period, the total trafic is the same alltogether. But the main point is : what are the developpers working on, if on anything ? WE NEED INFORMATION ! 73 Paul F6EXV Le 04/04/2020 à 12:09, ON4AOI a écrit : Paul, My point of view is that all these automatic uploads leads to many errors and unneeded internet traffic. check eQSL where I get every week claims for qso's with wrong band, wrong time etc even fake qso's are there now and then.
