[SADXA] WS7DX Log

[Wes Stewart]

I tried that DXLab mess.  First I tried manual install of just what I needed.  That gave me a bunch of antique software, so I followed advice to do the "automatic" install.  I got that installed and then my computer started locking up.  Once so bad I had to use the power switch to kill it.

I had decided to try some RTTY, something I've never done before.  So I wanted WinWarbler and the logging program.  This pretty much required Commander too and of course, Launcher.  Too much complication, so I gave up.  

Hamscope worked pretty well for RTTY using my laptop's internal sound card with my K3 (which as transformer coupling of the audio in/out) but I also wanted to use an external Firewire card with my TS-870 to get some ground loops broken.  But Hamscope wouldn't recognize the external sound card.  So I tried Joe's AXETTY with DXBase and it works flawlessly, so I'm sticking with that for the time being.

I've even worked some RTTY DX with my fat fingers in the last couple of days.  So far 4X, CN, FJ, UA0, VR and XE.  UA0 and XE confirmed via LoTW.
