[Dx4win] DX4WIN vs. Freebees

[Erkki Heikkinen]

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?
