POTA Watch v22.6 is posted and available for download in the Files > Program Files section of this forum.
The only change is adding a Find/Search feature to the POTA Log Repair Utility app. It allows you to search the log file for any criteria such as callsign, park, band, etc.
No change to the POTA Watch itself except updating the version number.

POTA Log 4.1 is posted and available for download. The logger itself is unchanged, although the version is updated to 4.1. The Park Finder has 2 new features:
1. Added ability to search on Grid Square for parks
2. Saving maximum search distance as default
Go to this forum, Files > Program Files for the download.

These were added at the suggestion of Buz, WA5AMM. Thanks for the great suggestions, Buz!??
I hope you find these programs and the new features to be helpful to your POTA activities.

Karl,

I have been woring for four hours today to solve a simple token problem at work.? Things seem to be getting more complicated every day.

One thing I should have made clearer in my first email is that I was talking about mutiple programs running simultaneously on the same computer or "local machine" and trying to exchange data with each other.? The method can be extended to communications between outside computers as well, but there are additional considerations in doing so.

I find this port stuff interesting, and I hope you'll continue to learn about it.? It makes the interface much easier than it was when dinosaurs ruled the earth.? ?

Good luck and best regards,

Bob, N3BD

Karl - Thanks for the update. Sorry I had misunderstood the problem. Yes, HRD and AC Log should still work together through the Lookup program. Let me know if you still have any questions.

Thanks Ed - I did not pose my question clearly.? The WSJT part is working fine as is.? It talks to AC log as it is currently set up and that is all I want.? The problem I was having was with HRD and ACLog together by themselves not communicating.? Since I asked the question I found your pdf that talks to that issue.? Have not had time to implement per those directions but I know it worked FB last time I used HRD and ACLog together so I assume all will be well.? My bad for pulling the trigger too quickly.

Bob - Many thanks to you as well.? Good info that is very, very well explained and I will be spending some time absorbing (and experimenting).? Good stuff to know and much appreciated.? Sometimes the basics are the hardest parts on which to get educated.? I have had lots of issues with com ports - TCP - UDP - API you name it.? Getting smarter step by step will be most helpful as I muddle up stuff in the future with different rigs and different software.

TU to you both and 73

The W4ELP Lookup program use ACLog's API on port 1100 to allow it to work with HRD Logbook or DM780. Essentially all operation is done in HRD and the log info is passed to AC Log is real time. Adding WSJT to the party is? whole 'nuther thing. I have not tried that, but I don't think it will work. Since WSJT-X provides all the info to the logging program, maybe both HRD Logbook and AC Log could receive and log the UDP data from WSJT-X.

I'll take a look at this and see if I can come up with something and will let you know.

Trying to use W4ELP to get ACLog (normal daily log) to talk to HRD Log (normal daily log).? ACLLog works fine with WSJTX .? Would be a convenience if it would coordinate with HRD Log as well.? I think at one point I had it working (did a RTTY contest out of DM780 and the ACLog contest log).? AC log does not see the HRD log data when it goes in the ALE window and I think I recollect that it should.? ?I am getting this error message but it seems trivial:



Have tried starting W4ELP both before and after starting ACLog and it doesn't seem to matter.

What am I missing (other than a few dozen IQ points that I probably had when I was younger)???

POTALog 4.0 is ready for download. Major change is in selecting and saving parks for activations. The POTALog program operation is mostly unchanged. Just some cleanup of the main window.

The logger now uses Park Finder 2.0 which is included in the installation. With Park Finder, you can find a list of parks within any specified distance of virtually any location such as city, address or park. Lists can be made and saved for future use which should be handy for anyone planning a road trip to activate different parks. You can also search for parks by park number or a partial name.

If you had installed Park Finder 1.0, the new Park Finder will delete old files and convert any park list to the new format.?

There could very well be some bugs or things I have missed, so please advise of any problems or questions.

POTA Watch v22.5 is posted for download in the Files > Program Files section of the forum. This update is a minor bug fix that affected spotting a new dtation when adding it manually. Also the option whether to display spot data prior to sending was not working correctly.

Here's another update to the POTA Watch program. It no longer requires using email or 3rd party programs to send spots when you log a contact. The spots now go directly to the POTA site. Spotting is now more reliable and accurate.

New POTA Watch v22.3 is posted for download. See Files > Program Files.
Just a minor tweak - fixed an error that prevented spots with PSK mode from being displayed.

POTA Watch v22.2 is posted and available for download. Fixed spotting of FT8, FT4 modes. Spotting via SOTAMAT requires reporting them as "data".

"Park Finder" has been added to the Files > Program Files of this forum.? It is for POTA enthusiasts, to provide a list of parks near any specified location. It uses the complete worldwide POTA Park List and can work from your coordinates, address, city or postal code.
As always, please report any problems or questions. Hope you find it helpful, especially if yu're a POTA activator.

Hi Ed,

The anti-virus folks were back to me very quickly. Confirmed it was a false positive and your installer package was "whitelisted". Webroot has not had a false positive problem for me in over a year. The package hash value is in their system now

This was first time I have tried this program and will have a bit of a learning curve figuring out what files I need for which purpose... looks like the online help file is a version behind, but probably very usable.

Thanks,
Jack - KD4IZ
