There are several logging programs that already support this, just none for Mac. Currently when I want to upload my data it takes multiple steps: highlight related records, perform export, launch signing application, run through steps to sign the ADIF file, launch browser, sign into LOTW, sign into eQSL, upload signed file to LOTW, upload unsigned file to eQSL. I can't automate this with AppleScript because TSQL is not scriptable (at least no dictionary). Along this vein I'd also like to see a better methodology for tracking QSLs. I use three methods for QSLing. I send cards, I upload to LOTW, and I upload to eQSL. There are only two fields for recording QSLs in MLDX, one for sent and one for received. I currently use this scheme. I record a relevant date along with letter codes ('c' for card, 'l' for LOTW, 'e' for eQSL). So if I've sent a QSL via LOTW & eQSL today, the sent field would read "09/30/2008 el". I use the same methodology for received QSLs. The problem is that this confuses the award section and makes it difficult for me to see, or sort for, or report on, where my QSLs are or aren't. In the award section of MLDX, it shows that I have worked 52 states and confirmed 45. But if I look at LOTW, I only have 29 confirmed. I only have 34 confirmed on eQSL. And I don't even know how many are confirmed by card. If I had separate fields, then the award screen could have a filter mechanism (much like the band mechanism on the VUCC tab of the awards screen). Anyway, I love using MLDX. I look forward to it's continued development. 73, --de Chip (N1MIE) FN41bn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It also will generate the LoTW, or eQSL upload file and mark you QSO's as having been submitted and will check with the ARRL server for new confirmations you have gotten and make the appropriate changes to your log so you don't have to go back and manually mark the QSO's as confirmed. RumLog is not nearly as fully featured as MLDX as an operating aid but does handle the database functions very nicely. Rick K6LE On Oct 7, 2008, at 5:49 PM, C.

Rick, please don't mistake this post for sarcasm, I honestly wish that there were more than 3 or 4 of us to provide software for the entire Mac Ham Radio community. It is growing at a great rate and there should be dozens of options to choose from, but sadly very few programmers have been lured by the dizzying fame and fortune :) Sadly, just this week we have lost MacHamRadio Cok Chen has asked for volunteers to continue the great work he started with his open source project CocoModem, none have answered the call. EchoMac another fine open source project written by Steve Palm (N9YTY) has been looking for volunteers for years... http://echomac.sourceforge.net/ Again, only Steve Titsler has stepped in to help support this fine effort. I know most of you will say "But I'm not a programmer!" and this is true, but I wasn't born a programmer and we are all amateur radio operators and as such we should all be excited by the technical challenge of mastering the new technology surrounding us. This is a call to arms. Are we appliance operators or are we innovators ? Anyone writing a Mac Ham Radio application without the resources to host or distribute it can expect free distribution from Dog Park Software. This was a service that Steve Muncy offered on MHR but sadly, no one took him up on it. Have a great idea for a feature that MacLoggerDX does not currently support ? Research it on the internet, use Apple's free XCode development suite and make it happen ! Extend the functionality of existing applications like B. Scott Andersen did with his excellent Cab Converter... Write some AppleScripts to extend MLDX... I will continuously strive to improve MacLoggerDX, but it will never do everything for everyone.

Man, I was starting to tear up! :-) I find it amazing that now that the Mac has really grown in penetration, even in hamshacks, that more new stuff hasn't come along. Seems like you and Cok and a few others got in early and not many afterwards, I really expected there to be bit of a surge by now.

I wasn't asking for that, but I think it is reasonable to ask for features and when popular enough that they are implemented. I asked for a feature to MacMemories awhile ago. You told me what it would take to get that feature. I have not been able to get in position to provide you the necessary resource.

I understand, I work 40 hours a week in addition to several contract jobs, raising 3 school age children and answer over a hundred support emails a day relating to the Mac Ham radio projects which I do in my spare time.

I was suggesting that someone might want to write some new Mac Ham Radio applications, but MLDX is extensible through AppleScript or the published log file format and possible database templates or through ADIF. >> Extend the functionality of existing applications like B.

I use them, really I do. I use them for use with cocoaModem, for example, an excellent product you mentioned in your previous email. Please don't stop putting the extra effort into them. My only complaint so far is that I don't always understand the documentation as far as how to use each of the commands. Sample scripts help a lot.

Perhaps an upgrade fee or a price for a module to help defer the cost of development. I'm not opposed to paying for good stuff. That's why it took me almost no time to pay for MLDX once I'd tried it. 73, --de Chip (N1MIE) FN41bn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you would like features in MLDX, I suggest we ask Don to include them in the cocoa version and try to let him get on with that, possibly help him to get on with that. We should instead attempt to take some of the load off Don's shoulders, to enable him to move forward with the cocoa version of MLDX and other pressing issues. Answering support questions here if we can would help, unfortunately, many newcomers are shy of asking in the public group and mail Don direct. Encouraging questions to be asked here would help us all learn - I don't know how many times I've asked a question and been advised it's in the manual - how many times have I read that in the last 4 years - I don't know :-) This is my personal opinion only. On the issue of Mac software, I hope everyone is aware of http://www.machamradio.com/ which unfortunately looks like its going to go off-line soon, although people are trying to establish a new location for it - but the issue is the amount of resource it takes to maintain a site like that - the site is easy, but keeping up with the greatest and latest, even on a Mac, is hard. 73 de M0XDF -- What is the purpose of the giant sequoia tree?

Hi All, Just a heads up. I am working with Steve on keeping the site alive. I have the site already moved to my server. We are just working with the registrars to move the domain. It may take a few weeks as Steve is traveling. I will ask the community to contribute to the site and also I am all ears to making additions or changes. I have some neat ideas that I think people will enjoy. I have a stack of Objective-C books on the shelf that honestly seem so overwhelming when I open them. I am actually back full time in school to start some basic Java courses to get my feet wet in programming. I have 100 ideas for software on the mac and my brain and fingers can't wait to apply these to Xcode. My goal is to be a OSX Developer and to contribute to our community. One other idea, any interest in a ham-mac-developer reflector? A place where newbies and veterans can help one another? Perhaps that will be one of the additions to the machamradio site. 73 de Lee WW2DX.com > > 73 de M0XDF > > -- > What is the purpose of the giant sequoia tree?

(I think likely yes but good to check) You didn't mention if you have an external USB hub and that the Easy Sync adaptor is plugged into it or not. If you do have the Easy Sync plugged into an external hub try plugging the Easy Sync directly into your mac mini. If the problem goes away it maybe your USB hub causing communication problems and you should replace the USB hub. Alway buy good quality powered (separate power) hubs as all communication to external devices goes via it. If it crappy then all the devices will connected to it will work crappy and that will drive you into a home. :-) Let us know how this goes. 73 Steve - VA3SPH On 9-Oct-08, at 11:15 AM, George Scott wrote: > Hello everyone, > As way of introduction.

Because so many people (myself included) love to push buttons to see what they will do - I have always shied away from adding a "Post spot to cluster" button to the dxcluster panel. Maybe I am being over- cautious but I wanted to save the embarrassment of unintentionally QRM'ing the clusters. 73 Don Agro VE3VRW From Retina at eyeExpert.com Mon Oct 20 15:54:28 2008 From: Retina at eyeExpert.com (Peter Van Houten) Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:54:28 -0400 Subject: [DogParkList] Mac Develper Reflector In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello Guys: I would love to get my feet wet in Mac Programming but have only a little time and no books or mentors to help answer stupid questions that all newbees ask. It is rather intimidating to the new programer or Ham. If the web site is run with a helpful attitude to all, then it will be very successful in producing new programmers for Ham radio. I do not like the "It's in the manual" answer to my stupid questions as I have already looked there and the explanation is lacking in detail or examples. This answer is really designed to cut off further questions as any programmer is tired of answering stupid questions. This also cuts off the flow of new ideas however. As users of the program, we owe it to the writer of the manual and the programmer to look there first and reference where you looked to find the answer in the manual but it did not complete the question. This would point out where the manual is lacking or where the program is being used in a manner other than the programmer intended. As a newer Ham, I stopped asking questions and did not interact on the site as I got this kind of answer from various programmers as my question shows not only a lack of understanding of how to do things with the program on my part and showed gaps in my knowledge as a newbee. The new user is learning the fundamentals of Amateur radio and how to run the program. In this sense, a great manual is not just a "How to use this" book but also should contain the assumptions and some of the fundamentals of why "we do this this way in ham radio". If the web site can provide a nurturing environment for the new and veteran programmer, then it will be a success. Some of the solutions to recurrent problems are buried in the archives of any site. The solutions to recurrent problems need to be summarized and placed in "educational web pages". The site can be a kind of a programmers manual that is live and changing. Count me "IN" and let me know how I can help. 73 Peter ---------------------------------------- Peter Van Houten 252-758-2617 x210 Voice mail 252-412-8115 cell mailto: KG4WEZ at mac.com http://www.qsl.net/kg4wez ------------------------------------------ On Oct 9, 2008, at 11:09 AM, dogparklist-request at dogparksoftware.com wrote: > > One other idea, any interest in a ham-mac-developer reflector?

From bsandersen at mac.com Tue Oct 21 11:13:58 2008 From: bsandersen at mac.com (B. Scott Andersen) Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2008 11:13:58 -0400 Subject: [DogParkList] Mac Develper Reflector In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <6903FC26-A267-4039-BD93-32B6A1A7301E@mac.com> Peter, Thank you for stepping up! Here are some opinions that I have that may help you think about the problem. There are four ways one might get involved here: 1. Provide an add-on to MacLoggerDX that links directly in with the program and extends the functionality. I believe the opportunities for this are limited at this time for at least two reasons. The first is that Don has not constructed MDLX to accommodate these things directly except through Apple Events. The second reason is that Don is working hard on a next generation of MLDX and there is little reason to invest a big effort in the current incarnation. So, in short, this probably isn't in the cards. 2. Provide an add-on to MLDX that communicates with the MLDX directly and provides real-time/live functionality. Your program would be a separate executable and would communicate with MLDX directly through Apple Events. I've tried this with some marginal success. You can check out my project FKeyer to see an example. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FKeyer/ I confess I was disappointed with how this arrangement worked--but, as they say, your mileage may vary. 3. Provide an add-on to MLDX that uses the files of MLDX (or that can be produced by MLDX) to provide user-value. Cab-converter http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cab-converter/ is an example of this approach. I take a file produced by MacLoggerDX (the exported ADIF file) and provide a mechanism for users to produce a Cabrillo file for submission to contest sponsors. There are two different approaches possible here: work on the native MDLX log file or work with the ADIF file format that can be either produced or consumed by MLDX. I believe that Don will ultimately change the log file format for the next generation of the product so I can't recommend developing add-on software relying on the current format. On the other hand, the ADIF stuff should be relatively stable and we should be able to develop to that for some time (IMHO). That's my guess, anyway. 4. Develop a stand-alone piece of software not related to MacLoggerDX. Obviously, the sky is the limit here. Here are some ideas for how to get started. First, and I say this as somebody who has been programming for 30+ years: programming is hard. Well, programming badly is easy (and always has been) but programming well is hard. Further, Cocoa, the preferred native programming framework for MacOS X development, has a very steep learning curve. I've looked at it and done some small amount of programming with it, but have produced nothing I'd like to share with people yet. There are alternatives... and they are good alternatives! Consider using something like RealBasic from Real Software. http://realsoftware.com/ Don't let the name "basic" fool you! This is a full object-oriented programming environment that is similar to VisualBasic from Microsoft. You can build robust, rich applications using this tool with a minimum of fuss. This development environment is not free; the "Personal Edition" is about $100. I believe it is worth every penny. Cab- converter, FKeyer, and several other programs I have written have been developed in RealBasic. This isn't "cheating". You get native Macintosh MacOS X applications. You can even upgrade your development environment and ship on Windows and LINUX if you like. This is a first- rate development environment that lets you get something built quickly with a minimum of learning curve and fuss. OK. Effusive product pitch concludes. IDEAS! Here are a couple of ideas to consider attacking: * LoTW --> MLDX. Lots of us have uploaded our QSOs to Logbook of the World (and that's a Good Thing(tm)). But, once those QSOs are there and have been confirmed there is no easy way to show those QSLs in MacLoggerDX. Here's the product idea: build a program that can take a downloaded report/dump from LoTW and have it update the QSL checkbox in MacLoggerDX to show these QSOs confirmed by LoTW. (Don't overwrite the "Y" in the field; perhaps add a second letter like "L" to indicate the LoTW confirmation.) * eQSL --> MLDX. This solves the problem above except for eQSL. * Awards add-on. MLDX tracks basic awards like Worked All States, DXCC, and so on. But, if you are trying to track DXCC QRP, 5 band Worked All States (5BWAS), single band DXCC, etc., then MLDX falls short. There is no easy way in MLDX to track these things. You could write a program that would read the MLDX log file (or ADIF) and produce a report, or set of screens, that would help people manage these award efforts. I have considered writing all of the above but cannot find the time. Anyway, I've got plans for rewriting Cab-converter so there is no way I can get to these ideas. Can you? Can somebody else on the list? Thanks again for your interest in pitching in on the Macintosh Ham community software pool. Let me know if you (or anybody else on the list!) has questions. Good luck and 73! -- Scott (NE1RD) On Oct 20, 2008, at 3:54 PM, Peter Van Houten wrote: > Hello Guys: > > I would love to get my feet wet in Mac Programming but have only a > little time and no books or mentors to help answer stupid questions > that all newbees ask.

It will likely not have any unique Mac technologies like Applescript or AppleEvents added to it. For that to happen a developer would have to break away from original source code and develop a whole new Macfligi. Serial.... Only one program can talk to radio because they both want to use the same serial port to the radio and having both trying wouldn't a good thing as I hope you can imagine. CocoaModem is a Mac OS X only program and so is MacLoggerDX and both take advantage of Applescript and AppleEvents to make the the experience a seemless one. Aka you have been spoiled by the developers good work and a unique feature of the Mac OS. :-) flidigi, because it's generic multiplatform code base, is also not optimized for Mac OS X. If you open up activity monitor and sort by CPU you will note fldigi consumes much more processing power than CocoaModem does. Not a big deal really but again shows how Mac OS X programs can take advantage of performance feature where as straight compiled UNIX code typically can't. Hope this helps. 73 Steve - VA3SPH On 28-Nov-08, at 12:43 PM, Michael Blake wrote: > Has anyone found any way to integrate MacLoggerDX with W1HKJ's > fldigi.

I think the Sat688 is EasyComm compatible so I should be OK there (assuming the USB interface works). Do you know of anyone using this interface or can verify that it does work with MacDoppler? Also, will MacDoppler work with two radios as does SatPC32. Though I have a TS-2000, I also own FT-817, FT-857D, and IC706MkIIg transceivers. The ability to use two, possibly different, radios is a boon to that otherwise outdated tracker. I would consider another FT-817 and use the pair for portable ops. If MacDopppler currently will not support two radios I am suggesting this as a future feature. Thanks.. -- Len Revelle N9IJ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

No, MacDopplerPRO supported 2 radios but it was not a well used feature and was dropped from MacDoppler for Cocoa. 73 Don Agro VE3VRW From viggen at mac.com Fri Dec 26 17:51:53 2008 From: viggen at mac.com (Larry West) Date: Fri, 26 Dec 2008 17:51:53 -0500 Subject: [DogParkList] Callbook Problem with WM7D & my QTH...

I've had Callbook since it first came out, and I have version 1.04 (at least that's what's on my Mac. How can I tell the version on the iPhone? The iPhone reports all apps up to date.). Since the start, I'm getting the wrong QTH Lat/Lon returned from WM7D when I look up my own call (N2LJ). Initially it was off a bit, but I've made multiple updates at WM7D, and I always get back the same thing, which is some miles from my QTH. I continue to get:40.550000, -74.233333, when it should be: 40.53438, -74.330886, which is what WM7D has for me. Just wondering if there's any cache that needs clearing, or what I can do, if anything. THanks, Larry West N2LJ (Happy MacLogger DX customer...)

I'm guessing it's the center of the grid (as I am not providing lat/long to Don).

Yup that was it, and thanks for adding the lat and lon to the server it will be in the next versions of MacLoggerDX and CallBook. 73 Don Agro VE3VRW D o g P a r k S o f t w a r e L t d . email: dagro at dogparksoftware.com www: http://www.dogparksoftware.com iChat AV:dogpark at mac.com From viggen at mac.com Fri Dec 26 21:03:29 2008 From: viggen at mac.com (Larry West) Date: Fri, 26 Dec 2008 21:03:29 -0500 Subject: [DogParkList] Callbook Problem with WM7D & my QTH...
