I think that CQLog can do what you want. I think it uses a DB, but can export to Adif file for uploading. If I recall, it can integrated with WSJTX.

I would love to!

Antenna up!
#FD2025 ready!

I haven’t had antenna up in over a year.

LOTW will be down during #FD2025 ?!?

It’s not that difficult anymore. There is Signalink and Digirig boxes that allow you to connect to most older radios.
I use a signalink to connect my FT-450d and on to a computer.

That’s too bad. Will it occur later this year, or next year?

Congratulations!

If anyone comes to try get my gear, I won’t find the body until it starts to smell…
My gear is still packed due to a remodel. If they manage to find it, I hope they tell me where it went…🤣🤣🤣

Why do you use the XT60 over PP?
Neat trick with the decoy boards.🤣

What the hell am I watching?

That was a good presentation. It focused on Windows centric serial and USB troubleshooting.

I feel ya. I went ‘home’ early Saturday and tried to work some 20m in the afternoon.

The current ‘old man opinions’ rotate between “I am going to sell it all, it’s getting to crazy on the bands”, or “I am looking for older gear that works, or buying new gear to not get caught by tariffs.”

I was impressed with the presentation.

I agree with the article. It’s larger than expected, it has a lot of features similar to the FT-100 and FT-Dx10.
I appreciate that they are trying to converge the faceplates though.

Pretty good. Contest university was great, the weather held for Friday at Hamvention.

I don’t have one. Is there a preferred one for you?

Following. What an interesting subculture of radio communications.

Yep!

Happy Birthday!

A lot of clubs are hosting virtual meetings now.
I sometimes attend a zoom call from a club in OK. I live in IN.

There is a saying that ‘Ham Radio is the hobby of a thousand hobbies’..

I would recommend you find a local club and find out what they offer. There are club’s that offer a varied range of activities, and some that don’t.

So she is well on her way to being a ham.😀

80 meters in the US band plan is where the kooks hang out.

There are a few other frequencies on other bands, but mostly 80 meters where they hang out.

80 meters? Because that sounds suspiciously like 80 meters…

I can’t eat fish where I live. It’s either frozen (Flash frozen, yech), or the variety sucks. Usually, both.

Best swordfish steak I’ve had.
