[Dxbase] Thoughts from Joe WA6AXE - abt DXbase's future

[Jim Cowan]

Although I am very disappointed with not getting the promised upgrades / new version of DxBase  I am going to tag along with Joe on this one..



Many of the reasons that Joe gives are the same for me – Like Joe I am 73 years old and I don’t think my operating practices are going to change that much.. I have but 2 countries left to get so filling in the different bands and modes are my priorities and DxBase will do that and more for me.. I am not about to start out on a new path at this stage of the game and even if I were younger and had many more countries to chase down – Dxbase has served me well up to this point and I can honestly say that I am sure that it would do the same for anyone wanting to be a casual or serious DX’er..



Joe – You can add me to your mailing list anytime you want – could not ask for a better guide..

Hello to all DXbase users!!

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.

ALL the VERY BEST from Joe WA6AXE

73,
