UTC and Daylight Savings

Hi Scott,
I just noticed that when Daylight savings occurs, the ACLog program does not adjust for that. Is this expected behavior? I know that Windows takes care of it automatically, however, ACLog still has 5 in it from when I set it up. I found this out when I got a QSL card back saying I was an hour off... Anyways.. so is the remedy to remember to change the UTC offset when the clocks change over? Thanks! Jason Hissong N8XE http://www.qsl.net/n8xe

Hi Jason,
Thanks for your e-mail. I had a number of requests for that feature following our switch to daylight time this past spring. I have added code in version 2.4 so that ACLog will check your system clock on startup and alert you if your UTC offset requires adjustment. In addition to always being excited about making new ACLog enhancements available, I have quite a sense of urgency to make ACLog 2.4 available before the time change for that very reason. As most of you know, I have already completed the CW enhancements and am now working on the RAM data management. The RAM features are going to add a good bit of snap to the program that I think everyone will like, but the coding is taking quite a bit longer than I had originally thought. With all that in mind, I think the major upgrades to 2.4 will be focused on the CW and performance enhancements. I've got lots of other suggestions on the list and as soon as 2.4 is available I will continue working on the additional enhancements. 73, Scott N3FJP http://www.n3fjp.com/ Serving the Amateur Radio Community with contesting and general logging software since 1997.

When do you think 2.4 will be available? My log of over 2000 contacts is getting rather slow! Do you need someone to help beta test? I'd be happy to volunteer. Thanks, Matt W5LL

Hi Matt,
It is really hard to predict. Sometimes a section of code that I think will take only an hour to write doesn't work out as expected and a day is "lost" coming up with an alternative. Other times things fall right into place. I'm shooting for the end of August or early September, but the window is pretty wide. I am spending every available minute I have on the project. I am trying to test as much as I can during the development. I'm not sure if I will release 2.4 as a beta first or not, but I REALLY appreciate your offer for testing. In fact, I can't thank this group enough for all your help and support. I really appreciate it. 73, Scott N3FJP http://www.n3fjp.com/ Serving the Amateur Radio Community with contesting and general logging software since 1997.
