K3Y QSL:
QSL card arrived the other day. I was fortunate to get the grand sweep again this year. I didn't get my last region until the 29th, but all is good. Can't wait until next year. I am thinking next year might be tougher because the sun spot cycle is on a down slope. We will see! Full details are here for this years SKM.
AetherSDR:
Well this Flex client is certainly going through a lot of changes. It works OK on Linux and Windows. The only thing I have objection to is the way they implemented the FlexControl. The wheel only affects tuning. and the buttons only toggle functions, e.g. MOX, on or off. This is a deal breaker for me. I need the wheel to affect the audio volume. I will keep monitoring this program but I am not hopeful it will be what I want.
Fortunately my SKCC logging program can connect via the network, so I don't need a CAT interface. I really don't need the DAX interface, so I am not concerned with that.
YACSDR:
Yet Another Client SDR for Flex Radios. This one is called RimuSDR. Unlike the other clients I have looked at, this is not open source. Can't download it yet and there will be some sort of monetary obligation. I will have to keep my eye on this one. The only worry I have is paying for an unknow quantity before trying it out first. We will see.
All for now
73!
