Hi All,

Happy 4th of July! I have a couple quick announcements to share:

IARU HF Contest Log 3.1 and VHF Contest Log 4.1 are now available!

These new versions are minor updates to my new, C# rewrites. The country lookup code has been corrected for / suffixes such as /R, /M, etc.

There are also some very minor font adjustments to some of the forms. Most folks running wide screen monitors are really happy with the way the new rewrites look, but there are still a significant percentage of folks running older style monitors. I'm doing my best to keep the appearance okay on those monitors as well until, until most all folks transition to the new monitor style format.

As always, these new versions are free to registered users. Just uninstall the previous C# versions from Windows Control panel and install the latest!

Please test the new AC Log 4.0 Beta!

Following the release of the first AC Log 4.0 Beta, lots of folks have been using the beta and offering enhancement suggestions. I've been incorporating as many suggestions as I can in an iterative process, which is now about complete. All the planned features for AC Log 4.0 are finished, represented in the current beta and seem to be working well! Please give the beta a try and let me know if any problems come to light! If no significant problems arise, Lord willing, I plan to remove the beta status and release AC Log 4.0 in mid August!

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 or N3FJP's Software Package and CD 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 approximately 50 programs for contesting, net management, general logging and other Amateur Radio related 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 is added to the package and free upgrades to existing programs. You'll find all the details on the Register Now page at www.n3fjp.com.

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:

p.s.

If you need to change your e-mail address for future announcements....

The way Yahoo groups are set up, it is much easier for subscribers to unsubscribe from the old e-mail address and then subscribe with your new e-mail address, than for the list owner to do it for you. Yahoo makes it prohibitively difficult for list owners and limits or blocks their ability to add subscribers, to prevent them from adding folks without their permission.

Fortunately, it is very easy for subscribers to unsubscribe and resubscribe.

Here are the links to the Announcements Only group (low volume group where only I can post):

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/n3fjp_software/

And users group (all users can post questions here, so this can be high volume at times):

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/n3fjp_software_users/

Please go ahead and make that change. Thanks for your cooperation!
