DPSDR + macloggerDX (MLDX) + 6600M = 4slice with spots on panafall

hi Scott

i do some contesting, more for the fun than the hard competition.
some ssb, cw and even rtty...

i use mldx in its "contest" mode and have built mldx cw macros that work  even where you need to increment qso number. For CW simplicity i use a winkeyer that mldx will key.

also have few rtty macros that do the same thing

when it comes to ssb, that is a little different, mldx has a voice keyer
but i have yet to use it.
just started to build some voice macros but have not used them..yet..

i start a new log for each contest as these can be merged in to the main log
and
helps find dx not worked fro that contest..
can use the spots and alarms feature to help find those extra points

the only time i use windoze  now is to run cwskimmer in Fusion VM.

mldx has feature calle "extra cluster" which will connect to this windows based cwskimmer
and
allow for being connected to any internet based cluster at the same time

for digital modes (rtty) i use fldigi and have even used cocoamodem
and
for FT8 obviuously wsjtx

i have found Loopback to be the best solution for audio routing with xDax

i do a lot of dx hunting and chasing, right now only three away from Honor Roll
so being on multiple bands at same time really helps
and
cant beat dual or even three receiver split operations
with three receiver split can listen to bottom. middle and top parts of a pileup
and
find where a dx station is actually working
and with the flex can 'see' whats happening...

i use to run TenTEC Orion II that i mod'd with SDR-IQ as a third receiver
and
there i could 'see' what happening too and listen to a pileup on two receivers

this type of operation sold me on flex capability

MY 6600M is my dream machine...

sometimes at the end of a session with the rig going full blast
i find my head spinning and need a 'neet' drink to settle things down ;-)

hope this helps
