I've used CQRlog for several years and am pleased with its LoTW and eQSL
integration.  I was unaware that Petr and Martin were working on
CQRtest.  Thanks for the link and now that I know I can check it out.

Speaking as the current maintainer for Hamlib, there are some patches
pending that I've not gotten to due to moving (I didn't know I had THAT
much stuff!) and emergency overtime at work last week.  Once things
settle down I will get those integrated into the development branch, one
of which includes some K3 updates as I recall.

For most of us writing software in the POSIX (I prefer that term as it
encompasses all of the UNIX and Unix like systems) it is our sub-hobby
of the amateur radio hobby.  Dave may be the closest I am aware of to a
professional developer and his efforts are most welcome.  He has also
pushed me to learn various aspects of programming and Hamlib that I
otherwise may have ignored and (I hope) the larger community has
benefitted.
