Congratulations on Chris joining your team. I attempted to upgrade my ACLog software this morning. All the links point me back to 6.4. I deleted 6.4 from my computer and clicked the link and saved the .ext program and it reinstalled the 6.4 version. I use ACLog for all my activation and am a active POTA participant..

Simple, The API is very inefficient when performing many Callsign lookups (for the B4 checks) at the end of a busy FT8 period where there may be 20, 30, 40 or more callsigns to check. Direct querying of the Log file is the quickest technique. You have slowed things down further by having the ACLog file on a different PC than JTAlert so network latency is introduced further slowing log file reads. JTAlert does cache (in memory) the results of the slow disk file lookups, but there will always be at least one physical log lookup when a callsign is first decoded. de Laurie VK3AMA

ACLog popping error when JTALert tries to Log Contact
JoAnn Donaldson
I am using separate computers for running WSJT-X/JTALert and ACLog. I have experienced a problem with ACLog trying to log a contact from WSJT-X/JTALert. After a lot of investigation, I found that when JTALert does the Worked Before check that is when ACLog pops the error. I have turned OFF Work Before in JTALert and now ACLog logs calls correctly and I get the Contact Confirm from JTAlert. I do not understand WHY JTALert needs to have a physical path to the ACLog database in the first place. IMHO this is defeating the purpose of having the API in the first place. I have left a similar message to the JTALert IO Forum. So I now consider this problem closed. JoAnn Donaldson - AB8YZ

Amateur Contact Log 6.7 is Now Available & Chris, KB3KCN Joins the Team!
Scott Davis
Hi All,
I sent this to both groups last week, but for some reason it only appeared on the Announcements Only group. I know that most of you here are aware by now, but just in case...
Hi All,
I'm excited to let you know that...
Amateur Contact Log 6.7 is Now Available!
AC Log 6.7 includes the following enhancements:
- Support for up to 3 rigs interfaced simultaneously (previously 2 rigs). Swap between rigs by pressing Ctrl X from the main form.
- Ability to specify CW and PH settings files to associate with a specific rig. When you toggle with Ctrl X, your CW and phone settings will automatically update, too. You'll find these options at the lower left when you click Settings > Transmit CW / PH.
- Grid Sent on AC Log's Setup form (in response to Parks on the Air (POTA) requests).
- Added Technician and Advanced filtering for DX spotting (General already existed).
- Ability to disable keyboard tuning (requested from blind hams, who use the keyboard shortcuts used for tuning in other ways).
- Added Satellite Name to the eQSL upload.
- Ability to record text to send via speech to text mic input on the CW buffer form.
- Operator field can be mapped to the Call value entered in setup or made blank when exporting in ADIF.
- Option to include Station Callsign in LoTW upload (in case an override of an Operator value is required).
- To be identified as an LoTW user in AC Log, the station must have uploaded in the last two years.
- Reordered LoTW All Since and All Confirmed download buttons to better reflect the priority of the All Since button, which is the one that should typically be used most often.
- Added a button on the LoTW Form to view LoTW queue status.
- Added additional Tool Tips on the LoTW form.
- Port for TCP Networking is now user customizable (instead of being locked at 1000). Lord willing, this enhancement will be included in future releases of my contest software as well.
You'll find Amateur Contact Log 6.7 here:
http://www.n3fjp.com/aclog.html
As always, upgrades are free to registered users! Please simply follow these upgrade steps here:
http://www.n3fjp.com/upgradestepsaclog.html
Enjoy!
Chris, KB3KCN Joins the N3FJP Software Team!
Actually, both my sons, Chris, KB3KCN and Brad, KB3MNE are excellent programmers, who have already been a great help to Kimberly and me. You are already enjoying their contributions, as they both have helped out with code and design ideas whenever they've had the opportunity, but until now, their time constraints have been quite limited. I am very excited to let you know that Chris is now going to be taking a much more active role in the future development of N3FJP Software! Eventually, we hope that Brad will be able to take a more active role as well.
Not only is this a tremendous blessing for Kimberly and me to be able work more closely with our sons, we have all been brainstorming quite a bit and we are very excited about our shared vision of the future of N3FJP Software! You probably won't notice many changes right away, because many aspects of our vision will start fresh and may take a few years to develop, but Lord willing, with Chris and eventually Brad's help, we have lots of ideas for taking our software to the next level and the future of N3FJP Software looks bright indeed!
And in response to the questions we always receive when we neglect to include the following in our e-mail announcements...
Package Upgrade Information...
If you have registered one or more individual programs and would like to upgrade to N3FJP's Software Package for full use of all our Amateur Radio software, we would be glad to apply the amount that you have registered so far as a credit towards that purchase. Please send us an e-mail directly and we'll let you know your balance.
N3FJP's Software Package includes more than one hundred programs for contesting, net management and general logging Amateur Radio applications. In addition to full use of all these programs, registered package customers are also entitled to receive free passwords for any new software that we add to the package and free upgrades to existing programs. There are no annual / maintenance costs of any kind. Simply register once and you are set with N3FJP Software for life! You'll find all the details on the Register Now page here:
Donations are Gratefully Accepted!
And in response to the often asked question for which Kimberly and I are very grateful...
"I know your upgrades are free, but I also realize how much time and effort coding these enhancements and new programs take and that your pricing policy doesn't fully reflect that. Can I send you something to show my appreciation for your continued efforts?"
Yes, thanks so much, your continued support in any amount is very welcome and deeply appreciated! You can use this page:
or send your contribution by mail, payable to Affirmatech Inc., to:
G. Scott Davis
118 Glenwood Road
Bel Air, MD 21014-5533
Thank you so much for your continued support!
Thanks!
As always, thanks for your kind words, support, linking to our web site and spreading the word about our software. Kimberly and I really appreciate it!

Re: Multiple Logging Software Operating
Scott Davis
Hi Joe,
Thanks for your e-mail. I'm sorry that you ran into trouble. Each program's ADIF and Cabrillo files are saved in their respective default folders. Each program runs completely independently. Make sure you signed on to Windows with the User Profile you used when you created the files and that your Internet protection software didn't clamp down on the files.
Enjoy! 73, Scott

Re: Need help
Scott Davis
Hi Philip,
Thanks for your e-mail. It sounds like your Internet protection software is preventing you from downloading the support file. Giving AC Log the proper permissions in your protection software will correct that.
If you continue to have trouble, you can download the file with your browser:
http://www.n3fjp.com/downloads/SubModeList.txt
And save it to your Shared folder:
C:\Users\YourWindowsUserProfile\My Documents\Affirmatech\N3FJP Software\Shared

Re: Rig Interface Polling
Dale Holloway, K4EQ
Hi Scott,
Yes, that's exactly what it does, so I guess it's normal. It is interesting, though, that I don't recall having to reconnect when using the TS-2000. I just tried it with the KX2 and it reconnect fine. Oh well, this isn't a major issue so I'm good. Thanks again for your great support for ACL. You've helped me several times in the past. Blessings! Dale, K4EQ

Re: Rig Interface Polling
Scott Davis
Hi Dale,
Thanks for your e-mail. I'm not familiar with the 590 SG, but if it interfaces directly with the PC via USB cable, it may be similar to what I experience with my Icom IC 7610. In short, I can turn the IC 7610 on and off fine and the polling comes right back up, as long as I leave the power supply on. If I turn the power supply off, the com port disappears from the PC completely, so of course at that point the software loses connection when the comport becomes invalid.
Just a guess that something similar might be happening there. I hope that this helps.
Enjoy! 73, Scott
