I was excited to read the recent announcements about the newly released enhanced Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) v6.9. I am particularly grateful to the HRD team for replacing the database since the legacy MS-Access database had been a source of occasional trouble and performance issues.
The folks at HRD made the upgrade super easy. The only challenge encountered was with Windows blocking HRD Wizard.
HRD Upgrade Steps
1. Download HRD software v6.9.0.17086 (27-Oct. 2025)
2. Run the downloaded HRD software
3. Run the HRD Setup Wizard
4. Read and accept the license agreement
5. Select the destination location
6. Prepare to Install - close the old version of HRD which was running
7. Complete the HRD Setup Wizard
8. Convert the old MS-Access based HRD logbook
9. Allow HRD Wizard process folder access after it was blocked by Windows protection blocked folder access.
10. Run the logbook migration
11. Finish the Migration Wizard
12. Run HRD and verify the logbook was converted
I am looking forward to diving into HRD and exploring the new features.
