Stephen KF0AED All Messages By This Member #64287 I noticed that there has been plenty of software created for contests; however, I also noticed that there are plenty of contests without a contest software. I also understand the difficulties of programming a software. But I was wondering if there's a way for a generic contesting software, where the user can put in the necessary exchange for the contest that your users (me) can use for the specific contest? -- Stephen Cullen Maple Grove Radio Club Vice President KF0AED "Keep your eyes on the sky, but your head out of the clouds."

Ryan Huggins All Messages By This Member #64294 Some of these may not be big enough for the software providers to create special programs for them.? You may want to check with the organizers to see if there are any programs that do support them.? Depending on their rules and exchange , they may be similar to another contest that you could use instead.? The only downside is this may require some editing of the cabrillo file after it's been created and you may not have accurate scoring and mults, depending on how close their contest is to others.? I imagine the Ontario QSO party would be similar to other QSO Parties, but some allow FT8 and some allow it on the WARC bands with a standard exchange, so you never know. ? Ryan KI6BTY
Mike Olbrisch All Messages By This Member #64295 开云体育 Anyone who has read Scott’s dissertation on writing contest logging programs has a pretty fair idea of what it takes.? And why Scott doesn’t support a bunch of the smaller QRP contests as well. THOUGHT – and this is a dangerous thing…….. Has anyone considered that you can CONFIGURE AC-Log to handle the contest exchange of your favorite unsupported contest.? Build a screen that has the entry data you need, set the TAB order to enter the exchange quickly…… and done.? If you need a CABRILLO file, there are other programs out there that can convert an ADIF to a CAB. The SMIRK contest is a great example.? Scott’s ARRL VHF contest software comes close….. until you get a contact with a SMIRK number you need to record.? I would not think of begging Scott to support that contest – not popular enough.? If Scott’s VHF program had one extra field that was just for a “NOTE” the SMIRK number could go in the note.? But it does not.? And the contest just isn’t popular enough for Scott to waste time on.? It is only important to a small number of 6m-ops. It is what it is.? What Scott gets done is amazing!? It is was easy, everyone could write their own programs. ? ?
