Hi Ernst,
since some updates I have "no new spots".
Windows 11, V2.0.30
all new updates the same. Cell phone alert works fine, your Desk Top Software no alert?
What is wrong?

Hi, did you read the notice on the download page?
"IMPORTANT
Manuel found and fixed a small bug in his system: When an sh/dx was sent to his Telnet interface, all alerted spots were returned, even if “Telnet” was NOT enabled in the user’s trigger.
Some people didn’t enable “Telnet” in their trigger settings on hamalert.org, but were previously receiving the alerted spots because the HamAlert Client sent an sh/dx every few minutes.
If you no longer receive spots in the HamAlert Client, please open the trigger settings on hamalert.org and enable “Telnet” there."

Hi Ernst,
I have downloaded the latest version of HamAlert (2.0.28) 3 times and each time deleting the older version. However, when I run the splash screen still comes up saying I am on v2.0.11 and that I need to download v2.0.28 Is this a bug or do I need to do something else to force the latest version please?

Hi Ernst,
Just browsing and found your site. We worked back in 2018 in the UKEI contest, but I'm not a contester. I saw your software and decided to take a look, but nowhere do you mention the O.S. it's intended for, so I was expecting something cross platform. Nope! I found a .exe. No use to me I only have Linux here. I'm surprised that any amateurs still use Windows!
May be worth adding the O.S. requirements to the site.
I look forward to speaking again soon, 73

Hi Barry,
well, I suppose that most of the amateurs use windows os. I have a Linux installation here on the side, running in a VM. Since most of the software I use for amateur radio, runs only on windows (pa remote control, rotator control, logging software, sdr console,...), I decided to go not cross-platform with my small little tools.
But maybe in the future, who knows 😉
Best 73s

Hi Ernst,
Thank you for the brief QSO on 20m. The band conditions were fairly poor and although your signal was only 51, it was rock solid with great audio.
I was running a 10 watts from my TS 850s and an inverted V dipole at 5.5m above ground.
Nice to meet you and hope to speak to you again.

Thank you for the nice contact earlier this week on 40 M SSB. I was playing with a Xiegu X5105, 5 watt transceiver that for the fun of it, I tuned up on a Diamond 20 meter mobile monobander (!) LOL on top of my wife's car, a VW Polo, basically zero counterpoise. Nonetheless, was pure play, I don't recommend using ATU on 20 meter vertical mobile on 40 🙂 - I'm now tuning the antenna we 3 tuned radials for 20 and looking to do SOTA, or more /P. - Can you tell me who made your QSL cards, i'm looking to make some.thanks and 73 - Carl HB9FGN

Hi Carl!

Congratulations on you audio quality today. We had a quick QSO today. I was QRP 5W on my Yaesu FTDX101MP. Using a Hi End fed longwire antenna. I can say that you audio quality is probably the best I have ever heard on SSB. I do hope to get a nice sounding audio soon. I passed my Foundation licence on 1st March 2020, so I am still very new to Ham Radio. I have only owned my Yaesu for about a week and am using a Yaesu MD-100 desk microphone. Thank you for the QSO and 73.
Admin Reply by: Ernst
Hello Alex,
thank you very much for the comments about my audio. I put a lot of effort in it 😉
It was very busy today on 14.205... I always trying to listen portable and qrp-stations.. but you know it is often not possible, because so many people calling.
Hope to hear soon from you!

Excellent conditions at frequencies of 20 m. although not in the entire DX band. It highlights its good modulation and enhancement of your voice, on a noise signal of 5 out of 7, with an effective transmission of 5/9 + 10 up to my qth. I personally get a lot of noise due to my self-built 1: 9 multi-band fishing pole vertical antenna. Nice to meet you on radio waves. Receive a cordial greeting from your radio friend Jose, EA7JIR. 73. Be safe, stay home!
