Description: This is pretty simple logging code and doesn't do lots of fancy stuff that other packages do. It doesn’t do the following:
* Talk to your radio
* Keep a running score
* Calculate any score in fact - if you have MS Access 2000 or newer you can copy into Excel and calculate your score
* Confuse you with partial-check
* Tell you if it is daylight or night outside
* Track your multipliers
* Allow multiple PCs
* Give you any help!
* Do any data modes stuff
* Cost anything
On the other hand I find it much easier to use than the packages where you have to learn all the F key functions, etc.
And it will do some good stuff:
* Allow you to maintain a 'Main Log' by importing individual contest logs in ADIF - and from other packages too
* Print QSL labels to 21 label sheets
* Send CW through a serial port (or USB serial adapter) using a transistor switch off DTR to key the radio. A typical circuit is shown at http://www.qsl.net/wm2u/cw.html or www.aa5au.com/rttyinterface.html (CW Circuit).
* CW has normal and fast speeds, to annoy others.
* Automatically send ROPOCO 'exchange out' as copy of previous 'exchange in'
* CW 'Enter Key' contest only operation - until something abnormal happens
* Tell you what the function keys do - on the screen
* Check for dupes in whatever format is required
* Store macros for CW in text files, so you can reload your carefully compiled contest responses
* Automatically repair and compress its databases on opening
* Create Cabrillo Files. And don't ask me what I think of the Cabrillo specification!! Suffice it to say this software only produces 13 variants of this 'Standard' format.
* Create ADIF files but without the header section - ideal for LOTW
* It should work with 98, 2000, XP and Vista.
