Let me change this just a bit and ask the question.

How many of you have and use Cambridge Model 10/20/25 loggers, and
use to support OLC with a yearly dontaion, but no longer will?

I am not looking to create another venting at OLC, but that is what I
suspect this looks like. I would like an honest reporting of how many
people were supporting OLC but no longer will because they can't get a
score for their flights recorded with their logger.

I will be the first to vote, and will vote twice, as I was dontaing
for my Dad to have a Smiley. How about you? Lost interest in
supporting OLC when they stopped supporting your logger that is good
enough for lots of things that require greater file security than is
required for posting flights on a website for others to view?

OLC says that they have been asking Cambridge to "pony up and get with
the program" for some years. And so, I suspect, has the igc. Not
doubting this one bit. But if you would stop and think about it, that
is roughly the equivalent of asking Microsoft to keep providing fixes
for issues with Windows 98. Microsoft's answer: Why not buy Windows
7? It is so much better than 98. Cambridge's answer: We sell a very
nice Model 302 that will do all that and more.

I am going to continue logging my flights to OLC. Two main reasons.
One, so my friends can see the flights I am making. Two, so people
can see that you can go soaring in the flat lands, and it doesn't have
to be done at Uvalde. I would like to see a contest come back to my
home field, and if people see that we can have pretty good soaring,
they might be more interested in coming here to fly. But, my
financial support to OLC is gone unless they restore ability to be
scored with a legacy Cambridge Logger.
