HNY to all,
Come on guys. All we love dx4win but it needs to be updated. If you use 
rtty for example, you really need a better decoder as 2tone is. A cw 
decoder maybe? New features have been asked many times and there are big 
lists in archive. Even I personally need support for 2 rotors for 
example, maybe it is not so important as others... For example:
1. support for omnirig. This makes easier parallel control of an sdr 
receiver and your rig.
2. As the subject of the email says: Better support with lotw, as one 
button upload, one button download, selective dxcc submission with lotw 
qsos, or cards or both, compare with online credits, etc.
3. Support of new modes. Some guys of us, use new digi modes that are 
not supported. A new editable database with modes is the best option. 
Also RST must accept new reports.
4. Support of ocx. This makes mmtty support easier and let us to use 
other digi programs as well as mmvari and 2tone for example.
5. Logger32 (its author is SK some years ago but it is updated 
regularly!!!) already supports connection of its database for countries 
with clublog. This makes ad1c's life much more easier and we can have 
one general acceptable database.
....and much more that Paul has read and I hope has noted.
The bad thing for me (worst than not updating) is that Paul, the author 
of the program, does not say to us his thoughts for all these. I would 
like to hear his opinion, even it is something like "dx4win is my last 
priority and I don't think  I will update it the next 30 years"(I hope 
not saying it)...
