QSL Cards and Shack Update

I finally got my QSL cards from the printing house few days (week) ago. QSO’s have been “piling up” meanwhile waiting the cards, so I have approximately 200 QSL’s to send out… So you will have yours after a while. As I’m the member of the Finnish radio amateur league (SRAL) I will be posting the QSL’s via the bureau. Hopefully that method will reach you all. 

I have also been switching between computer platforms in the Shack. As you might remember I started out with my Mac and MacLogger DX together with CocoaModem for digimodes. After a while I changed the CocoaModem to fldigi. Not long ago I completely transferred my Shack computer to Linux platform and started using CQRLOG instead of MacLogger DX. After all that platform hassle I managed to keep my log up-to-date… at least almost. I think I lost one QSO from the log, but that was user error, not related to platform change. I try to figure out what QSO is missing. It was a G something, so from England. Hopefully I will find it somewhere. But all in all I’m quite happy with CQRLOG together with fldigi. I managed to get all CAT and digi interface features working too. The only hassle I have at the moment is related to dual monitors in my computer…but that is not HAM related, it is Ubuntu / Linux X-window ‘feature’…
