Wow, wonderful.
Thomas, veilen Dank.

Looks very nice.

I have one question:

I have tried to disable the voice alarm from the Preferences / DX Alarm menu, but it stays active all the time and does not react to mouse clicks.

What am I doing wrong?
Can't this be disabled?

Thank you

Hi Thomas, first of all thanks for the great and only (reasonable) Mac logging software.

With the last update, it seems that you have introduced QSO start and end time. When I export the ADIF from my Log, the date/time info looks like this:
<qso_date_off:8>20190402 <time_off:6>061522

while older ADIF files were reading
<qso_date:8>20190317 <time_on:6>123536

When I upload these new ADIFs to clublog or QRZCQ, they are not processed with an appropriate warning. For eqsl or lotw it seems to work.

Also, I cannot explicitly decide if the manual QSO time I enter is end or start time (or a neutral "average" time as before).

Am I getting something wrong, are clublog and QRZCQ not following the latest ADIF standard, or is RUMlogng not fully working in this respect?

Again, thanks a lot for your software!

73 de DG2FDD, Jens

The current ADIF specification doesn't define required fields. :(
RUMlog can save the QSO start or end time only :(
When you have to export the <qso_date> and <time_on> tags, just select QSO start time from the popup menu.

I know, it's not the best solution.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for best logging software for Mac.

After upgrading to RUMlogNG 4.2, I am also facing challenges with exported ADIF data as they are not processed by QRZ.com.

For upload to different services you should consider this tool: https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/qso-upl ... 3292?mt=12

Will your tool convert the ADIF time_start to just time? It seems that QRZ, QRZcq and Clublog fail to process entries with your new ADIF format. Unfortunately, I cannot see or change the time of an existing entry from start time to end time or to neutral time (as it was before). When I import older QSOs as ADIF, all my times are now exported as end-times (again, failing to process in qrzcq and clublog).

The QSO Uploader uses always the required ADIF tags.
Once again: just select QSO start time from the popup menu just before you export your QSOs to interpret all times as QSO start time.
In the ADIF import dialog is an option provided which time you prefer to use.

Hi Tom, I'm having the same problem with the LOTW uploads and start times. I'm not seeing the popup window you are referring to.

Thanks in advance, Bob. N2TSQ
