Its been dead for about 5 years, and the smell is not attracting any new users. I had to move on, I did not want to, but was "forced" to, I work the new bands 136khz and 475khz and with DXB not able to log those qsos, thus they cannot be uploaded to LOTW etc. I had asked years ago for those bands to be added, such a small item, and nothing done. So in frustration I gave up. I moved on to DXkeeper log, its free for one thing, and has hundreds of more features than DXbase. There is a learning curve but when you get a little use of it, its great so far. It imported all my DXB logs with no hiccups and that was the end. You'all do whats best for you, but its past time to send flowers to this funeral. 73 Merv K9FD/KH6 > Looks like I?m retiring my venerable yaesu ft1000mp for a new yaesu ftdx5000mp limited as my DXBase-connected base radio.

Despite its age and crusty nature (sounds like many of us), the program still works and satisfies most needs. But unfortunately (like us) it can't last forever. Neal purchased the source code/program many years ago, and despite repeated representations of new releases and/or improvements, nothing has been done. Not a complaint, just a fact. It would be wonderful if Neal could turn the program over to knowledgeable programmers or make it open source so the users could make additions. How about it Neal? You're not going to do anything with it, so either prove me wrong by Christmas or let others carry the torch. 73 Lou, W0FK ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2017 20:50:24 -0600 From: k4wa at yahoo.com To: Paul Smith Cc: "Dxbase at mailman.qth.net" , Neal Campbell Subject: Re: [Dxbase] Fw: !!

Let?s not let this be an entry to debate, I just wanted to voice my hope that we could see DXBase advance in some fashion.

There are several proprietary packages that cannot be passed around and likely would need to be replaced. The charges of the program will be removed when I can get this worked out (as well as the licensing). > > 73 > > > Neal Campbell > Abroham Neal LLC > > > [http://www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/logo.jpg] > > On Sun, Nov 13, 2016 at 3:04 PM, Paul Smith > wrote: > > > Are there any updates on the release date since April 25? > > > Thanks > > > Paul - ND4X > > > ________________________________ > From: Dxbase > >> on behalf of Neal Campbell > > > Sent: Monday, April 25, 2016 1:45 PM > To: > Cc: DXBase List > Subject: Re: [Dxbase] !!
