Thanks Tom for clear and short instructions. They really helped me.

[@ND3N]

Glad to help - 73 de Tom, ND3N

This just saved me a ton of time. Thanks, Tom.

[@ND3N]

Glad it helped!

Thanks for the video. Great stuff. A polite little request: please dont add any music, it's so distracting. Your voice is already interesting ;-)

[@ND3N]

That video was an earlier experiment with using music to cover up the background noise. I’ve since moved my shack to a back room where I can close the door and block most of the noise and haven’t used music since - except occasionally as a filler where it is appropriate. Thanks for caring enough to point out how I can improve my videos, though. 73 de Tom, ND3N

Good video Tom! Maybe one suggestion: bring the background music down to a quarter of that level. The music is a bit distracting. Thank you for taking the time to develop this training. 73 de N1SFT

This was one of the first videos I ever did - Since then, and after having received multiple comments about the music, I no longer use it, except in very rare instances. Thanks, 73 de Tom, ND3N

Hi, I am not using the latest version of WSJT-X, if I upgrade to the latest version can I transfer my log file, as I don’t want to lose the data.

Upgrading will not affect your logs. They’re stored in a permanent file.

How do I set up for Ten Ten contests? They require other information than the regular contests.

[@ND3N]

If you look next to the send macros, you’ll see a tab labeled “2”. Click on that and in there you can customize your messages.

[@wa8bzc]

@@ND3N ok but will the logging be compatible with 10 10 contest log? if so how do i set that up?

[@marshallmcdonald7309]

Please ditch the music bed once you've done your intro.
It serves no purpose & is distracting from the info.
I have tinnitus & have a little problem hearing as it is.

That video was done almost 3 years ago. I was new to doing these videos then and still experimenting with what would work. I discarded the music shortly afterwards. Check out some of my newer videos. I think you’ll find that I have improved…
