Thanks for the good report George! Lord willing, Chis and I will likely do a global release of all our software, with the latest features, in January.
Thanks again!
Enjoy! 73, Scott

Hi Scott,
As expected my favorite cluster did crash several times over the weekend. Each time I received the anticipated audio alert and the software changed to the secondary cluster. I'm sold! This update is ready. 73, George K4GM On 11/25/2020 5:45 AM, Scott Davis via

As a follow up to my previous email I did more testing. Because of my business I have access to numerous wireless WIFI routers which connect wirelessly to cell towers. I set up two other WIFI routers in addition to the one I normally use and switched from one to the other and so on seriatim several times. Each time I switched networks I heard the audio notification that ACLog was trying to reconnect to the cluster and each time it did successfully!! Just thought I would confirm that the beta was working A-OK. My cluster has not gone down yet but it may be overloaded and grind to a halt this weekend. If I ever notice a re-connect to a second cluster I will advise. I really appreciate this improvement.... in fact, one of my most appreciated. 73, George K4GM On 11/24/2020

Thanks so much for the good report George!
It has been difficult to test here as I rarely lose
connection, so I really appreciate the reports from
you all.
Thanks again!

You have done an excellent job on the auto reconnect feature. Today I installed the beta and left the PC all afternoon until a few minutes ago (7 hrs). When I returned my preferred cluster was still there and ACLog was still downloading spots. For the last month or so I have been plagued by quick disconnect of the cluster, usually after only a couple of hours. Thanks! I have not had a disconnect yet so can't speak to that, but I will do so if and when one occurs. 73, George K4GM On

Hi Gang,
I've been working on enhancing the DX
Spotting reconnect functionality in my
software. In addition to automatically
attempting a reconnect with your currently
selected DX Spotting Telnet host, if the
reconnect attempt fails, it will then try
the next host in your list.
This is a difficult function to test,
as aside from unplugging and replugging
the LAN cable to simulate a disconnect, it
is tough to simulate all the scenarios
causing a disconnection. I think the best
way to test this is for as many of us to
run AC Log, as much as possible and see
what occurs if / when the Telnet site you
happen to be connected to goes down.
If you would like to help test this
feature, would you please uninstall your
current version of AC Log from Windows
Control Panel and then install this
version:
It will say Beta 6.7.1 in the title
bar.
Then click Settings > DX Spotting
> Configure and check the Auto
Reconnect option here:
If you have the ability to simulate
a connection loss, awesome.
Otherwise, just let AC Log roll and
see what happens. There will be a
text to speech voice letting you know
if there is a reconnect attempt or a
new site is tried. You will also see
text on the DX Spotting set up form of
the attempts.
If you leave the PC, make a note of
the host you are connected to and see
if it is still the same site when you
return.
Thanks in advance for your help
with this!
Please let me know how you make
out!
