Have you upgraded TQSL to the 1.13 version.  HRD log with LoTW only works with this version.  Download it from the LoTW site.  I too was having errors until I RTFM.  It clearly states you this issue with other version.  Once I did, the probelms went away.

Dan

You're welcome, and whatcha doing up so early??? 

Jim

P.S.  Did you get your LoTW straightened out?

Dan,

   I think I may know what the issue is.  You may have entered your password rather than the upload code into the HRDLOG setting in the logbook.

   Do this.  Log into HRDLOG.net  Select Modify Profile from the list on the right side of the screen.  Under your E-Mail address there are three choices.  Select the middle one - resend your code.  Once you receive it, go back into HRD Logbook, Configure, HRDLog.net and enter the code in the appropriate box.

   Now try.  Let us know if it worked.

I have had similar experiences with HRDLog.  A manual upload (create a ADIF file and log into HRD then upload the ADIF) worked fine.

To fix LoTW issues you MUST have TQSL V1.13 installed.  Download it from the ARRL site and see if it doesn't fix your problems.

Sometimes, a permit may not be necessary.  The best answer is know the rules, laws and regulations.  The town I have does not require a permit for any construction less than $3500.  Putting up a used 65' tower can certainly be done for less than $3500.  The antennas and other items on the tower are considered no different than the furniture you'd place in a room, so that does not add into the cost factoring.

I'd follow the advise from W3WN.  Once the township hears from a 'lawyer', then they may need to contemplate their position and if they'd like to bring it to court (with the outlay of cash for those costs).  He might make a call or write a letter for nothing to help out in this circumstance.  Also, was the decision of allowing you to have the tower back in the December meeting written into the meeting minutes?  If so, you would certainly have additional leverage as they published those minutes and made them part of the public record. 

I have a IC-756 Pro III and IC-PW1.  Control the rig with HRD using a microHam Digikeyer II for the rig and through the CI-V Aux connection the IC-PW1.  Works just terrific.  Like having a fully automated 1 KW rig.  Got rid of the pesky buss collision issue.

With the head remoted and the cube under the desk you just can't hear it.  Just the needles wiggling and the lights dimming:~)

Looks like a brick, built like a brick, works like a dream. 

You can get NEW Andrews Heliax and connectors on E-Bay all the time.  Most of these sales come from roll ends that were left over from projects.  I've gotten 1/2" hardline for as low as $.75 a foot and connectors in the $7.99 range by being patient and waiting for a good deal.  Most of the rolls of hardline will be in the 100 foot range.  Which, for my 65 foot tower was perfect.

I switched over to wired as well.  Made no difference.  Again, I'm just reporting my experiences.  I will go on to say the problems occurred at two different QTHs.  The old QTH, I lived in a condo with an iffy at best grounding system.  The current QTH has a very good ground system.  I also have tower mounted antennae as opposed to a ground mounted vertical in the old QTH.  None of it made a difference.  That's why my nephew has it now.

Yup, the Davis - and others - are expensive.  But they do exactly what you expect them to.  All the time.

Check paragraph 'f'.  AND FOR THE FINAL TIME - DO NOT ADDRESS ANY COMMUNICATION TO ME EVER.

Then I hope you are prepared for the stalking charges and the law suit that follows.

I had a LaCrosse Wireless weather station.  I gave it to my nephew.  Every time I transmitted, I'd get over 300" (yes, 300 inches) of rain.  I would periodically (like every other day) go pull the batteries and power from the internal portion and external transmitter to reset everything.  It is my opinion that LaCrosse weather stations are very prone to RF.  

I tried everything.  Chokes, aluminum tape to shield it, repositioning it further away from the antenna.  Nothing worked.  I got a Davis.  No more problems.

OK Dave, this one is for you.  I've held off in doing this, because I wasn't "Keeping Score", but you appear to.  Since you keep referring to a post a year and a half old.  So, this is necessary.

The word unprecedented was my opinion.  I'm entitled to that.  I tried your application, and I didn't like it.  I found it cumbersome, the user interface wasn't to my liking, and for lack of a better word, I didn't like the 'feel'.  The same went with N1MM's logging system, and several other rig control and logging applications available.  HRD version 4.1 did it for me, but not quite.  When version 5 was released it did have many improvements that I appreciated and felt did it better than any other (including your application), hence the use of the word unprecedented.  Something you seemed to be totally hung up on.  When I compare DXLAB to HRD, HRD is way ahead in many ways IN MY OPINION.  HRD BLOWS DXLAB AWAY IN MY OPINION.  So the use of the word unprecedented is JUSTIFIED IN MY OPINION.  I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.  GET OVER IT.

So, there you go.  I expressed my opinion.  Guess what buddy?  I AM ALLOWED TO DO JUST THAT.  Since I am not a paid author for any publication, anything I write is the sole expression of MY THOUGHTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS.

Also, I was not the one who initially used the term or thought 'Trapped' (I believe the word 'ambushed' was first used).  Another person expressed his opinion that you seemed to have done that.  About that time I became aware of your role in DXLab.  So, the observation of the another person was a very fitting statement and I agreed.  Wow, a third party read what had transpired and had an opinion that differed from yours.  And that seems to be the underlying current to this thread.  YOU DO NOT LIKE PEOPLE WHO'S OPINION IS DIFFERENT THAN YOURS.  They have a word for that.

There was absolutely no steps backwards in HRD functionality from V4 to V5.  Indeed, there were many advances.  For example: the inclusion of features like eQSL automatic updating.  But of course you checked that out, didn't you?  NO?  The users you 'heard' from must not have learned enough about the system to correctly exploit the features would be my guess.  But then, your hearsay was all the research you invested or needed, obviously.

I have helped dozens of people get up and running on HRD V5.  I have assisted dozens more with problems they have had and assisted them in using and understanding the HRD applications.  I do have a very good understanding of HRD and its features.  I tend to stay away from threads I have no direct knowledge in (like how do I get HRD to work with my TenTec, etc) or cannot duplicate (since I don't work the satellites, I don't have any experience with HRD SAT or Az/El rotors).  Since you seemed to have very little HRD experience, there is no need for you to offer anything new on HRD.

So, Big Man, give it a rest.  Unless I specifically address you, please stay away from me and anything I post.  Unless you have something positive to contribute, plonk me, PLEASE!

I rest my case.

Dave,

  No where did I address you.  I addressed W8JX and K2ZS.  Please refrain from responding to comments I leave for others.  Your opinion is unwanted by me.  If I address a comment to you, feel free to comment or answer.  Thank You.

Jim

W8JX,

   It's not worth it to argue with Dave.  He splits a hair finer than anyone I have ever met.  Just go back to the beginning of this post and see how he set a trap for me.  At the time I did not know he was the author of DX Suite and fell right into it.  He's very proud of DX Suite (as he should be).  Arguing with him is kinda like a greased pig at a county fair.  Sooner or later you have to accept you won't catch the pig, and he kinda likes being chased...


K2ZS,

   I will agree with Dave that if the cable is working on other programs it should work with HRD as well.  Dave does say you may experience a driver crash, but since you are using a serial cable and did not state if the computer serial port is a native port or a USB converter, this MAY be a problem.  Since you are not having issues with other software, I doubt it will be an issue.  HRD does not provide drivers for the serial connection.  A huge assumption by Dave. 

   I do not have any direct experience with the TS-690.  So I tend to stay away from things I can't directly test and verify in my shack.  But I do see HRD includes it into the list of predefined rigs.  If the system works with your other software, I might suggest opening the config of that software and write down all the pertinent settings.  Set up HRD the exact same way, and it should work.  To eliminate the bickering, you can reach me off net at my call at arrl.net
