Adding and editing QSOs is similarly painfully slow.

Clicking on 'Bermuda' takes another 17 or so seconds to load a new tab with a single result, and the query it ran took 40ms. Double-clicking on the 'Need QSL: 9' cell takes 17s to bring up a list of nine results, but did no queries. Clicking on 'Award Tracking' takes about 7 seconds to show up and display my DXCC results, but the backend query took 6ms. The slowness I'm talking about is mostly navigating the UI, lots of very slow moving of things around, and when drilling down from the logbook it's like painfully slow. I've got query logging turned on, and even though HRD's schema and queries look like they were designed by a highschooler, they're still completing in milliseconds because of the tiny amount of data and it being 2021. Being able to use mysql is a huge advantage, because I can query the DB myself for things that HRD can't do, or while I'm waiting minutes for HRD to respond. Now, before you ask, yes, I'm using a mysql backend. I have about 1500 contacts entered into it and.I can't believe how slow it is.

I was also excited about being better about keeping my logs, but I'm starting to think the logbook part of HRD is like totally unusable. I want to be able to see my power and SWR meters while operating remotely, and it works for that. The primary reason I bought it was for the rig control and native support in JTDX, which does seem to pretty much work like I want. Anyway, I'm really starting to regret my decision. The licensing really displeases me, but I also don't normally buy windows software, so I figure if I'm going to be dirty, I might as well embrace it. I recently purchased HRD after a short trial. I'm posting this from a throwaway account because I'm afraid HRD will cancel me.
