Cannot enter spot for Russian station on DX Summit
« on: February 05, 2023, 05:11:35 AM »

Tried manually entering a spot for a Russian station on 12M this morning but DX Summit won't accept it? Tried searching for Russian stations - couldn't find any spots at all? Is this a bug or?

You also cannot spot Ukranian stations.

 DX Summit should get together with the ignoramus over at QRZ who last year blocked the lookup of all Russian stations. He did a hilarious backpedaling & spin job after cancelling this wildly unpopular decision a week later.

DX Summit should get out of politics.

Remember when the tools who bought Ham Radio Deluxe were remotely disabling the software of people who left them bad reviews on eHam?  ;D

Staff at "the zed" began deleting posts of people who were complaining about it (I guess because HRD was an advertiser)

That was also quite a saga.

I never knew that.  It's disgusting.  I know they didn't give those they disabled their money back.

I recall that HRD disaster. They had a telnet server one could manually log into and check callsigns. I actually tried it even though I didn’t  own HRD, it was true, and then I found I was blocked from QRZ. So they were logging IP addresses, and I had to beg QRZ to be reinstated.

So I didn’t use HRD for 6 years, but finally bit the bullet as I liked the HRD Alert feature after seeing a review on YouTube. More info displayed more stably than GridTracker. I can’t recall trying JT Alert.

I had a few online words to that effect with Mike PIE. They seem to have lived up to their promises after the incident. Serious updates are slow - they’ve been promising an Access database update for years “any time now”. So if it works for you try it. Just don’t believe vaporware promises.

Not to side track this thread but on a related matter does the Mail service in Russia still work to the USA?

I have an old contact made when UA4WHX was on a Dxpedition and I never remembered to send for the QSL Card.  He says he accepts PayPal but does that still work with Russian accounts?
