[Dx4win] FT8 Integration

[UA3AGW Dmitry Zaslavsky]

C‘mon ! It must be a very «complicated and expensive» feature to implement — a kind of WSJT or JTDX or MFSK engine like
we have MMTTY here for years!
Didn’t we have to pay 30USD just for FT-mode integration as a main logging function? And there is no FT4 in the normal Mode box, so you have to put MFSK from the pull-down menu and then add FT4 in the Submode box to enter the QSO. However when you make and ADIF export in order to upload it to LOTW — you won’t get a credit for your match ‘cause LOTW has no idea what it is. Thus you have to edit your ADIF first and replace MFSK with FT4  — very nice, isn’t it ?
 
Unfortunately I’ve been facing problems with Custom Awards Submission feature for many years and no-one was able to help. Looks like this SW is able to process only one Custom award from the list. And if you add a 2nd or 3rd etc.— you’ll have a real mess — a mixture of your submitted QSOs for all of the Custom award programs you participate in. Fortunately there are no problems with standard awards like DXCC, WAZ, IOTA etc. And also there is no way to calculate a number of unique calls based on your sorting criteria.There is not even a box for the Continent, so if you want to find out how many Qs you’ve got in your log from EU — the best way is to put a filter for each of EU zones followed by clicking «count» and then summarize them manually. Please forgive me if I’m wrong — but I couldn’t find any solution even by using a «Multiple QSO Operations» menu.
 
If there are any experts in the group reading this — please share your ideas, maybe the problem is not that big that I’ve described and I’m sorry for that.
 
Best 73’s !
