Forgot to add that HRD runs most digital modes out of the box, but not WXJTx FT/JT. N3FJP uses a free digital engine to run RTTY. Both programs interface to WSJTx and JTAlert (your choice) seamlessly.73'sGeorge - WB5JJJ4______________________________________________________________On Sun, May 15, 2022 at 4:12 PM WB5JJJ <wb5jjj@gmail.com> wrote:I have been using HRD for well over 20 years. Starting with the free version by Simon and now the paid version by Mike and the rest of the owners. New release coming out on Monday with some of the JTAlert features. I've not seen the beta yet, but will give it the deep dive on Monday. Once purchased, it's yours to use forever on all computers using your call sign. But if you want any of the future enhancements, an annual service contract is necessary, but all "fixes" are still free.2nd choice is the N3FJP Amateur Contact Log. Does everything you need for a decent price. I don't use this but help others get it set up and running (easy). I've also purchased the full N3FJP suite of programs and use the contest ones all the time. Once the suite is purchased, ALL N3FJP future updates and programs are FREE. They just work and support is PERSONAL and fast by Scott.Both of these upload to LoTW on demand, NOT after each contact. LoTW does NOT recommend uploading every contract as it takes as much server time to do one as it takes to do several hundred QSO's uploaded in a single batch. This single process may be blocked in the future by LoTW as it's a major server hog.Hope this helps. Sometimes free is not the best choice.73'sGeorge - WB5JJJ4On Sun, May 15, 2022 at 1:18 PM Steven Rutledge <crownhaven@bellsouth.net> wrote:Well, I have given up on DXBase. Recurring problems on two programs on
two computers. I am unable to create an ADIF file on either of them to
upload to LOTW. After two weeks of struggling with the problem, I give
up. I'm looking for a program that provides a seamless upload to LOTW,
it doesn't have to be automatic. However, I would rather not have to
hunt for files, make 10 keystrokes, etc. Having a display available for
DX stats and the ability of integrate Internet Cluster. Something that
doesn't require an intimate knowledge of Windows problems.
Joel told me he is using DX4WIN. DX Keeper is another one I'm familiar
with. Also HRD. DXBase was a great program but there was no support.
I think most of the ops still using it are probably IT specialists. :)))))
I'm running Windows 10 home here.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated. BTW, DXAC has a Zoom meeting
this afternoon. It will be interesting. I will report anything of
interest. DXAC has not been tasked with anything but the usual stuff
keeps coming up and we are going to review/discuss it. If there is
anything you want ME to mention, please let me know.
