Really great support, I still don't know how they make money.With all the support! Kevin was professional, highly knowledgeable, precise, and fast. The support engineer (Kevin) spent at least 30 minutes, and took care of my problems. I needed support to make the FTDX 10 work with the HRD, also need to figure out the logging

They are really trying but so far, my 31 years as an IT Manager would call the product "unstable." Now, we may find something wrong with my PC or my Windows install but for right now, I cannot recommend HRD. The support folks have been very responsive. Although the fix was simple (File> Open>My Log), I didn't recognize what had happened. It was there Sunday night but Monday, I got a world map and rig information. THEN earlier this week, the logger disconnected itself from my logging database. About 85% of the time, the Log Program does not show up on the screen, although it is in Task Manager. HRD Rig Control shows up in my task list but not on the screen. About 30% of the time when I ask HRD to do its thing, the rig control program simply doesn't show up.

My issue is often times, the software doesn't show up on my PC. I had used the Simon Brown "free" version for 10+ years but figured that I should support the folks who took over support and improvement.

That way I am in full compliance with the FCC, OHSA, and EPA requirements for knowing the limits of radiation.Hate to do this but I am not happy with the licensed version of HRD. Also, I keep in the log printed copies of the results of the University of Texas website for calculating the radiation exposure from every band that I operate and every emission that I operate. However, after the contest is over I do print out a copy of the log and include it in my written records. During contests I generally do use a computer for, if no other reason, keeping track of "dupes" is much easier using a computer.
The same for mobile contacts, that is I don't keep a record of most FM contacts but I do record SSB contacts especially on HF.īeing a bit "olde fashioned" I still keep my logs on paper. Local FM contacts are generally not logged but I do keep a record of all my other contacts. Such a requirement might be placed because of reported interference and such.Īlthough not a legal requirement many amateur radio operators still keep either a written log or a computer based log. The FCC can still require that a written log be kept by a station but this almost never happens these days. Finally, the FCC eliminated it for all normal operation. Then they eliminated it for fixed stations except for when third party traffic was sent. The FCC gradually relaxed the logging requirements first on mobile operation gradually eliminating it for such. For example, you had to indicate that you were 7 miles southeast of Podunk, Texas. Back then you had to log such calls as well as any test calls.Īlso, when I was first licensed (May of 1959) when operating mobile you had to give your location in terms of the nearest town on the air as well as logging that in your written log. Looking back at my first few logbooks there are a lot of "ND" notations ("ND" meant "nothing doing") in relation to calling CQ. We slowly relaxed that, or I did, as time went along, before the FCC dispensed with logging requirements. Back in the day, we were pretty particular about logging "no response" calls and test calls as well. How? Well if I called CQ for an extended period of time, without getting an answer, I would log the transmission as lasting from xxx time to yyy time, rather than each individual call, even if the calls were spaced out over a half hour or so. I never knew anyone who tried to do it while the vehicle was in motion, so I guess I didn't have any stupid friends. But you had to stop your car safely in order to write down the info. The ARRL's smaller "Mobile Radio Logbook" was very convenient for use in a vehicle.
In the days when we were required to log, some of us who did mobile operation, just made quick notes on a pad, then later transferred the info to a log book. The FCC most likely took the view that it would never be able to review amateur radio log books, and they did not constitute a legal document anyway, having been done by the individual ham. Included broadcasting, public service, business radio, and more. It affected most radio services, not just amateur. That was generally to reduce the worload the FCC might have to deal with. Though I don't know, I suspect the primary reason for the overall deregulation taking place within the FCC.
