Asher,
Is there a way to export the FT8 QSO’s in ADIF format from the SQLite DB? ?Or are they also saved in ADIF format in a separate file?

Double check your positive lead, I think I see some bare copper in your

Re: CW on zbitx

Chris,
This is an interesting aside, but the logbook saves all the qsos in an

Re: Any updates in the new batch of zbitx that is open for orders now?
There will be no hardware changes to the circuitry at all. We are using the
