The UPS keep my logging computer running for a while but not as long as usual. DXbase was not shutdown correctly. When I powered it back on and ran DXbase the columns were not correct for many windows and I had to un-hide many. There were many other issues so I finally uninstalled and reinstall DXbase. Now all the windows are correct and my log looks okay. The problem I can't fix is that DXbase does not read the frequency of the radio correctly. The serial port is set to 19200, N81 the same as it was. I have the same Icom 7600 configuration file being used. DXbase will set the frequency of the radio okay, but when it reads it, it has 47GHz.? I checked the operation of the radio with the N1MM contesting program. That program reads and writes the frequency correctly. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can check? I will be buying a new UPS battery.

After knowing now that the future of DXbase is truely dead, I want all who want to stay with DXbase2007 - knowing that the current DXbase2007 is the final version - to know that I am staying with DXbase2007 myself! The reasons for my staying with DXbase2007 is that: (1) I can help anyone else who is going to stay with DXbase2007. (2) I can still program standalone utilities, reports, etc for DXbase2007. (3) At my age (72 yrs) - and with my Operating habits - DXbase2007 is good enough for me. I tried all of the other logging programs and just can not find one that is even close to what DXbase2007 offers. I will NOT hope for any further versions of DXbase - as after Neal's ownership of DXbase for the past going on 7years - and promises that just never come about - I have to totally given up any hope. NOTE!! I may be kicked-off the DXbase Reflectors, for what I am saying here - so, when I say my 73's below - it might really be 73's. YES! While Neal is on his vacation - if anyone has a requirement for a DXbase2007 reg file (new or changed) - I can help you out directly. Neal gave me the EXE program that MAKES the reg file - so that I could help people out and not have to bug him each time that I needed to make a REG file here at my QTH.

I am staying with DXbase because I know how to use it and t does what I want. I have been able to use the comments and special-1 fields to keep track of the NPOTA contacts I have made. A couple of years ago I picked out a replacement logging program and imported to it. It did not have the correct number of countries worked and confirmed after the import. So I decided to stay with DXBase and not try to fix the problem in the other program. 73 Tom N4TL From: Joseph Glockner To: dxbase at mailman.qth.net Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2016 5:46 PM Subject: [Dxbase] Thoughts from Joe WA6AXE - abt DXbase's future Hello to all DXbase users!!

I am 62 and could do the learning curve with another program I am sure. But since I use DXBase2007 for qsling and award tracking only, I am probably not as affected as others. Yes, it does what I need in those areas. But there are a lot of "tweaks" I wish we could see. The tweaks would have nothing to do with a major upgrade. I did download DX Labs a few years ago but decided against doing the learning curve. If I had done my logging and sending via DXBase2007 I would have probably stayed with DX Labs. I know many DXBase users who went that route several years ago and are quite pleased. There are other programs out there of course that one could use. I just find it very disturbing at what has happened the past 7 years with the promised upgrades, etc. I would not do business in the real world with a company that has this kind of track record.

Took me a long time to learn what I needed to know. It does everything I need done at this point. My requirements are simple. Stats and logging plus interface with DXCluster. The reports are nice and some of the searches are helpful. LOTW was a little awkward at first but I've figured that out.

Maybe he felt sorry for me. :)))) I started with the first version in DOS too. I had a tough time with the transition to Windows as I was not a Windows user. I'm slightly better now but I have hacked my way through the program in terms of what I need to know. Most of this help came from Jack before Joe was on the scene. I admire Joe's work and I'm glad he is here. However, I don't qualify for his assistance based on his warnings regarding knowledge of Windows. I'm not criticizing but I'm personally not there yet. I do read everything he has to say here. Maybe some of it will rub off. I think I'm safe for the rest of my lifetime unless something very strange happens with Windows which is a possibility. Speaking of strange and somewhat off-topic, has anyone had the hidden patch that MS sends out to Windows 7 users that automatically installs Windows 10 on your computer without your knowledge? It happened to me and it happened to a friend. I was able to abort the installation and also found out which update contained the patch based on research. It was on all my machines. I removed it and told my computers to let me choose patches instead of having it happen automatically. In my opinion, what MS is doing with this is no different than some hacker engaging my computer.

After knowing now that the future of DXbase is truely dead, I want all who want to stay with DXbase2007 - knowing that the current DXbase2007 is the final version - to know that I am staying with DXbase2007 myself! The reasons for my staying with DXbase2007 is that: (1) I can help anyone else who is going to stay with DXbase2007. (2) I can still program standalone utilities, reports, etc for DXbase2007. (3) At my age (72 yrs) - and with my Operating habits - DXbase2007 is good enough for me. I tried all of the other logging programs and just can not find one that is even close to what DXbase2007 offers. I will NOT hope for any further versions of DXbase - as after Neal's ownership of DXbase for the past going on 7years - and promises that just never come about - I have to totally given up any hope. NOTE!! I may be kicked-off the DXbase Reflectors, for what I am saying here - so, when I say my 73's below - it might really be 73's. YES! While Neal is on his vacation - if anyone has a requirement for a DXbase2007 reg file (new or changed) - I can help you out directly. Neal gave me the EXE program that MAKES the reg file - so that I could help people out and not have to bug him each time that I needed to make a REG file here at my QTH.

I visited Jack at his Atlanta QTH several times and received a lot of help both in person and via the internet. I also assisted Jack at his booth at Dayton a few times. To abandon DXbase now would seem like abandoning Jack. I recently moved and haven't been active for quite awhile, but I still peruse my DXbase logs and reminisce.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1009cfa2-46bd-5029-b324-fb3512d6a123@arrl.net> Neil, Think we have stumbled into an old sore spot that dates back years ago with some of the gray hairs on the list. There was once a time that criticism would have resulted in a "Banned from Boston" edict on the DXBase mailing list. Will not go into details but that is the baggage that came with DXBase. On the other hand, some of the comments that have been directed to you over the last couple were totally out of line. You have a tougher skin than I do.

Its stability (now under win 10) is remarkable, and the help I got from you was always outstanding. I stick to it wholeheartedly. Please add me to your DXbase group. Thanks and regards, Giorgio I2KMG From stig-lin at frisurf.no Mon May 23 05:29:10 2016 From: stig-lin at frisurf.no (Stig Lindblom) Date: Mon, 23 May 2016 11:29:10 +0200 Subject: [Dxbase] DXBASE serves me well In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <7ac2a47362dfcc8492bdfb69442dd743@online.no> Hi All, I've been with DXBASE since DOS 3.0. It still does ALL I need, and I will stay with DXBASE, at least in the foreseeable future. Maily of three reasons : 1. It already does what I need. 2. I always got help from Joe and Neal whenever requested. 3. Learning a new program takes to much of my time. Keep It Simple (KISS). I like to spend my Hamradio time operating. A special thanks to Joe for all the help he provides us all ! 73 de Stig LA7JO _ HS0ZGD From n4kwpete at centurylink.net Mon May 23 10:10:58 2016 From: n4kwpete at centurylink.net (Pete Raymond) Date: Mon, 23 May 2016 10:10:58 -0400 Subject: [Dxbase] Future of DXBase Message-ID: <7d79d8d3-be44-29e1-33a5-349e77a83476@centurylink.net> Let me raise this possibility. It appears that Neal is unable to put in the necessary time to upgrade or update the software, and he may be agreeable to sell the program rights etc. I would think that if Joe would be agreeable he could turn this ship around and head it in the right direction. If joe was agreeable to this I would suggest that with so many wanting to "hang in there" they would be willing to contribute to the purchase. I would think that first, Joe would have to agree in principal then he could contact Neil and see if he would be willing to sell and if so at what price. I am just throwing this up on the table as a possibility. I also started with DXBase back in the Dos days and remember Jack and another gentlemen started DXBase. I do not recall the other persons name and there also was a YL who was available to solve problems during the daytime when the two founders were at work. I will also say that I left DXBase over four years ago but have always kept up with the web page keeping informed, DXBase has always had a soft spot with me from it's conception. Over the years I had many conversations with Jack about my problems and always always found him to be ready to help, and that he did. I will also say that once Neal purchased the software Joe was also my night in shining armor and would also come to my aid either via email or phone calls.

I'd like to see support for QRZ XML. I purchased HRD (Ham Radio Deluxe) for DM-780 and have been testing their logging program. It uses QRZ's "live" XML call sign database to fill in Name, City, address etc. in the QSO/QSL info blocks. You can also choose to have a popup of the new contacts QRZ page. QRZ has also discontinued their download and CD database service. The most popular logging programs are now including as an option XML service for Ham call and QRZ. With the XML service you get the latest call sign data base because your pulling it off the QRZ internet site. This would be an option feature you could choose to use. I also believe there is an active list of LoTW stations that are available for download. HRD uses it with the DX cluster display noting an "L" for a station that confirms with LoTW. It updates the LoTW list almost every time you use the program. It would be a nice feature to add LoTW to the DX Base Summary window. 73, Gary W8VI ------------------------------------------------------------------ Steve, Besides a LoTW interface, an eQSL and Club Log interface would be nice.
