Unfortunately I never had the pleasure of experiencing Dr. DX and I have
always felt that I really missed out! I would love to be able to operate it
now and hope that someone out there is willing to take up the challenge to
create a Windows 10 version if that is possible. Aside from the obvious
contest training benefits, it would be a wonderful and fun tool to teach
everyone about propagation, working DX, DX callsigns and what happens when
you switch bands at different times of the day/night. And in the COVID
world we are living in, it would be an awesome way to play radio on a
limited budget without fancy equipment, big antennas and the acres of
property required to put them up. I'm pretty sure that there are many out
there that feel as I do and would be happy to buy it if it were available.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Doctor DX clone (if you never used it, you just don't
"get it")
Dr Dx was like sitting down at a real radio and actually tuning the bands
during a contest and working guys. Other have explained this here, but
seems that the "alternatives" being offered are not just miles, but light
years off the mark.
If you never sat in front of Dr. DX, you will never appreciate what
everyone else is talking about.
It was way ahead of it's time (at least compared to what is out there now).
