[Dx4win] DX4WIN vs. Freebees
I've been a DX4WIN user for so long I can't remember when I started, 18+ years ago? I've looked at the freebee loggers and found it was a waste of my time to move to another logger. I've looked at the popular for-profit loggers and found that most are so bloated that, again, they are a waste of my time and money. It all depends on what you want your logger to do. I want my logger to track QSOs with a reasonable search capability, to track the major awards and QSLs, and to produce log files that can be uploaded to other services like LoTW and ClubLog. MMTTY built-in is a plus for casual use. WSJT-X isn't on my to-do list. For contesting, I use contest programs specifically designed for contesting. If DX4WIN doesn't meet your needs, move on to something that is a better fit to your needs. I'm comfortable wearing DX4WIN. It fits well and I never have to fight it.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN vs. Freebees
I have been using DX4WIN since version 1.6. As i dont work unhuman modes (FT8/4), I do not need anything newer than v. 8.5. And that works FB for me. It is a pity ARRL accepted those unhuman modes. It is going the end ham radio. However I am happy that I had great time working DX on CW and some on SSB during my 56 years in radio. For me, everything does not have to be automatic. Why should uploading to LoTW and CL be automatic? Is it not enough that the "QSOs" are automatic? 73 Erkki oH2BF > -Original Message- > From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net > [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Bert Garcia > Sent: Sunday, January 12, 2020 8:34 PM > To: DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net > Subject: [Dx4win] DX4WIN vs. Freebees > > > I've been a DX4WIN user for so long I can't remember when I > started, 18+ years ago?

Guys calm down, some of us are trying to put on the table things that can be improved, it doesn't mean that must be done, just have it in consideration Thanks El lun., 13 ene. 2020 20:18, Chris Sauvageot escribió: > > Am 13.01.2020 um 20:09 schrieb Erkki Heikkinen: > > For me, everything does not have to be automatic.
