Sorry about the proble, Andy.?
Uninstall removes the program files that came with the installer, but not the ini file that's written on the first startup. You can try deleting the ini file and starting over.
Otherwise, I don't know why the message about the session ID request would keep coming back as long as you have the correct QRZ user name and password.
Try shuttng lookups off in the Lookup program and letting HRD do the lookup (but not both at the same time). Lookups SHOULD work ok in contest mode, but it wouldn't hurt to try.
This shouldn't affect the message, but you should have N3FJP running before starting the lookup program, or restart lookup (CTL-ALT-R).?
I'll see if I can replicate the problem here.

I have had that before. Look on DM780 in the ALE tab. There is a small click box that says contest mode. That will fix it.

Re: Groups.io Reverification Request
Fellow group members, Replying to the group will not reverify your account. Please read what Jack sent carefully. He stated, "If you didn't receive a request, you're good - don't worry about it. For those who did, you have until Feb. 11th to reverify." This means if you get a message from groups.io (not any single group like this one) about reverification of your account, just reply to it. That's all you need to do. AND, that is ONLY if you actually receive such a message from groups.io. The FAQ on reverification says: "Some members have been sent an email with the subject Action Required: Confirm Your Groups.io Membership to Continue Receiving Group Emails. It asks the member to either respond to the email or log into their account in order to confirm their membership. Most such accounts are ones that haven't posted in a long time. It's important that all know that this email is legit. It's not a phish." If you didn't get a message with this subject: Action Required: Confirm Your Groups.io Membership to Continue Receiving Group Emails Then you DO NOT NEED TO DO ANYTHING. Not everyone will be receiving this message, and it's probably only a few percent who will see this and need to reverify. Here's the complete reverification FAQ: /static/reverifyfaqIf you go to the group and you can see the group messages, you're good. If you need to log into the group to see group messages, do so and you're good. If you don't have a password or don't remember one, click "forgot password" and GIO will send you a login link that will let you into the group and then (you guessed it!) you're good. While you're in there, you can set up a password for future logins, but this safety feature will always be there for you as long as you keep your address up to date and don't change it without changing it on GIO. So either responding to the email or logging in or going to the group will serve to reverify your account. I did what Ed did when I first heard about this and made the mistake of posting the information to the group. I had lots of members replying to the group that they want to reverify. This won't do anything, and chances are, you don't even need to do anything. To clear things up for those few affected, I then went to the member list in ADMIN in the group, filtered for reverification in progress (RI) and checked the top box to select all those members, then I went to the bottom of the list and selected "send message" and then sent out something ONLY TO THOSE who need to reverify. Hopefully, this will help clear things up for those who don't understand what's happening and why.

The POTA Watch program has been updated to v20.4. New feature is the ability to set alarm for activity on a specific band or bands. This helps POTA hunters watch for "rare" band activations such as 160 or 60 meters.

I think you already know this, but when Defender blocks a program or an installer from running, there is a link on the pop-up message that most people don't even notice that lets you make an informed decision to run the file anyway. If you click on that link it should give you the option to override Defender's block. If you're not seeing this, it's very strange. I've always been able to override Defender. Is it actually Defender that's blocking the program, or is it possibly an AV program doing so? Most AV programs will let you right-click on its icon in the task tray and choose to close the AV program, or allow it to stop working for a set time period, like a few minutes, or just suspend the AV program until you go back and re-enable it.

Re: W4ELP Lookup Progeram Update

Yes the first time I loaded the older version on the new Windows 11 computer it gave me the option to run anyway. ?Now, it doesn’t do that and unfortunately there is no one switch to turn off Windows Defender. ?You have multiple switches and so far I haven’t found the right one that will let me load your program. ? We are having a PSK contest (160m, 80m, and 40m) this weekend and my main antenna is not working, which is my only 80m antenna. ?I will be pulling it down between rain showers to see what’s the problem. ?I spent about 3 hours up on the roof Friday repairing my Carolina 40m Windom. ?Fortunately I don’t have to get on the roof to repair the Carolina 80m Windom. ? If I have time, I will try again to load the program, I just ran out of time before the contest started and your old version is working well. ?So it’s not a big deal. ?I just thought you might have a quick solution.
