No, its not. As a matter of fact I have killed about every unusable process there is running.

Looking at the log.

What XML document?

At the moment... I have it working. WCF is not running but everything is communicating fine without issues.

Once I took a step backwards and stop looking at my new FT8 installation I tried. FLDIGI and found I had the same issue.

So backed up and found that entering a QSO in LOG4OM and deleting it would drop the TCP connection alone

So I uninstalled Log4OM and reinstalled. Had the same issue again but all my user settings were still there. So this time I uninstalled/reinstalled and deleted the user/roaming profile. Set everything back up and it is holding the TCP connection.

I have an issue with my QRZ uploads where its not shading contacts green for LOTW. I don't know if it has anything to do with how LOG4OM is uploading them (or me not doing it right). I have a support request with QRZ now and waiting for an email back.

Appreciate all the help.

See my answer to your other post re QRZ logbook

For what its worth I can get WCF to run but I have to kill everything that is running on 8081/8081

There are several things on my machine. Its a pretty common port. I even have a mouse for my CAD software that uses the port !

But seems to run fine without WCF
