SysLabs RadioControl is a software platform for radio device control and application development. It operates on _Windows_ versions from Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 through _Windows 11_. The software is available in Lite, Standard, and Professional editions, each including Frontpanel for direct radio control, a Frequency Database for management, and a Memory File for channel operations. Features include frequency identification, memory scanning, and graphical spectrum views with bitmap export capability. The Professional Edition supports multi-device control and utilizes radio device-internal scanners, achieving scan rates of **40-60 steps per second** compared to the RadioControl-internal scanner's **10-20 steps per second**. Supported devices for internal scanning include AOR AR-5000, AR-8200, AR-8600, AR-ONE, R&S EB200, and various Icom receivers and transceivers. RadioControl supports older devices such as ICOM IC-R71, IC-R7000, IC-706, IC-735, YAESU FRG-8800, and FRG-9600, extending their control capabilities. The platform offers APIs for integration and supports import/export with formats from VisualRadio, SCANcontrol, shoc Radio Manager, WiNRADiO, AOR ACEPAC-3A, as well as generic Text, CSV, and HTML.

Amateur Contact Log (AC Log) by N3FJP is a commercial Windows-based general logging program designed for amateur radio operators, supporting Windows 7 through 11. It provides comprehensive tracking for various operating awards, including Worked All States (WAS), Worked All Counties, Worked All Countries (WAC), DXCC, VUCC, Grids, Zones, IOTAs, and Lighthouses. The software features a customizable user interface, allowing operators to display specific data fields and adjust font sizes. It includes built-in databases for counties and countries, facilitates queries by band, mode, or power level, and offers a bearing and distance calculator for DX contacts. AC Log also provides DX spotting via Telnet or packet TNC, supports keyboard CW, and can play wave files. The program offers full support for ADIF import and export, enabling seamless integration with external services like eQSL, QRZ, Club Log, and the ARRL's Logbook of the World (LoTW) for QSO uploads and confirmation downloads. It interfaces with popular transceivers from Elecraft, Icom, Kenwood, Ten Tec, and Yaesu, and connects with digital mode software such as WSJT-X, Fldigi, and JTAlert via API. AC Log includes a Net Manager form for group logging, prints basic QSL label strips, and integrates with QRZ and Ham Call lookup services. The software is fully networkable for multi-PC operation, supports Parks on the Air (POTA) logging, and displays worked entities and DX spots on a real-time world map. Full featured Trial version available for 45 days

The MCP-F6/F7 software facilitates memory channel and menu data creation for the Kenwood TH-F6A, TH-F7A, and TH-F7E transceivers. It operates on _Windows_ XP (SP3+), Vista (SP2+), Windows 7 (RTM+), Windows 8 (RTM+), Windows 8.1 (RTM+), Windows 10, and Windows 11. System requirements include a CPU faster than the OS recommendation, RAM exceeding the OS recommendation, and **2 MB** of free hard drive space. Display resolution must be XGA (1024 x 768) or higher. Connectivity to the transceiver requires an optional PG-4Y (RS-232) or KPG-22U (USB 2.0) programming cable. The KPG-22U cable necessitates a virtual COM port driver installation. The software supports COM1 through COM20 for RS-232 communication. Installation requires administrator privileges and involves executing "setup.exe" from the extracted MFX101.zip archive. Uninstallation is performed via the Control Panel's "Uninstall a program" function or by re-executing "setup.exe." Created data files are not removed during uninstallation and require manual deletion. The software version is **1.01**. DXZone Focus: Kenwood TH-F6 F7 | Memory Management | Windows | RS-232

This PDF document details the construction of a **70 MHz** Big Wheel antenna, a horizontally polarized omnidirectional array. The design utilizes three full-wave loops, each approximately **2160 mm** in diameter, arranged in a triangular configuration. The resource provides mechanical dimensions for the antenna elements and a comprehensive bill of materials, specifying component quantities and types, such as M8 stainless steel bolts, 15x15x1.5 mm square aluminum tubing for spacers, and 8 mm aluminum rod for the arcs. The central hub is constructed from two 160x160x8 mm aluminum plates, with four 40 mm long polyamide insulators supporting the radiating elements. The feed system incorporates a 50 mm diameter aluminum pipe for mounting and a matching stub constructed from a 120x20x2 mm aluminum sheet, connected via M8x10 mm bolts. The resource includes a diagram illustrating the mechanical dimensions and assembly points, including the N-connector fixing point and the center conductor attachment. The project was published on May 25, 2011, by Peter OE5MPL and Rudi OE5VRL. DXZone Focus: PDF | 70 MHz Big Wheel | Mechanical Dimensions | **2160 mm** loop diameter
