If VARAC degrades to a contest type, I will find some other mode to operate. This is a chat mode. That means talk, visit, exchange ideas and information. You should stick with FT8 where you don't have to do much of anything to make contacts that you never talk to.

Don't know if this will help but here are my settings:

The file name did not change. The directory name was changed to VARAC from VARAC 3.8.8. ( just thought it was time.) In settings, it asks for an adif file and a drop down menu has a tree with the directories. It has worked for a long time, I don't know what I have screwed up. Thanks for the quick response, I can't imagine how you spend all of this time for the rest of us. Thanks again.

After installing V5.3.1, settings will not accept any directory for my .adif file. I have tried all directories up to C: and I get the message that that directory does not exist.

I can see where that would be a problem. (Just being a smart so and so) The typo just struck me funny.

I agree. I would prefer 3 CQs.

When selecting QSO log from menu, absolutely nothing happens. I have tried to put a new file in but am unable to do that.
