V2 looks good so far, especially with GridTracker forwarding ADIF via UDP.
One small problem: the distance statistic reports wrongly when I look at my 2m ADIF file. Max distance is shown for NH6Y rather than the extra 2,000km or so for ZL4LV (eme)

Re: Distance calculation
Sorry but I dont understand what the error is, using those two call signs the distances are calculated and saved correctly, the band is not relevant?
Alternatively are you expecting Log4OM to calculate the astronomical distance between two earth stations via moon bounce? which of course constantly changes because the Moon revolves around Earth in an elliptical orbit with a mean eccentricity of 0.0549. Thus, the Moon's centre-to-centre distance from Earth varies with mean values of 363,396 km at perigee to 405,504 km at apogee.
If you expect the latter then I think you need to use a satelite program for the calculation because we will only calculate the terrestrial distance between two grid references.

Re: Distance calculation
Whoops!
Log4OM is not guilty. Mea maxima culpa.
I was looking at GridTracker statistics.
That is finding the wrong maximum distance between two QSOs on the oblate spheroid which is our planet.
