[wsjt-devel] Enable Easy Re-Read of ADI Log File

I use an array of  wsjtx_log.adi files to manage my QSOs by band and mode. Each has a descriptive name appended to the front of "wsjtx_log.adi". This keeps the wsjtx_log.adi file much smaller than a monolithic file while preserving all of the past contact information. When I operate using a particu

Hi all, We are are planning another test of FT8 DXpedition Mode tomorrow, May 12, at 1400 UTC. The purpose is to do on-the-air tests of fixes for minor bugs found in WSJT-X v1.9.0-rc4 during last Saturday's test run. Program corrections in WSJT-X v1.9.0 r8658 (relative to v1.9.0-rc4 r8642)
