With all the latest nifty new digital software (Zakanaka, DigiPan) and
fancy Windows based Logging programs (see DXbase and Logger), isn't it time
for some modern day contesting software ?
Seems that Writelog has the right idea with it's module for building
individual contest formats but last I looked at that it was still
cumbersome.
The modern contesting software should allow for users to use their own
favourite RTTY/PSK or CW software seamlessly, likewise their favourite
logging program.
The ability to have it apply to ANY contest could be achieved by a simple
set-up wizard that asks....
Callsign ? ----------------
Zone? --------------------
Contest name? ------------
Exchange? ----------------
multiplier points
Europe -----points. Africa ----points. Asia ----point.s
Aus/Nz -----points . South American -----points . North America ----points?
Other specific prefixes -------points
And so on and so on. Of course, I have NO CLUE how to do this. It is time
it was invented though.
Food for thought
