THE G0GJV VHF CONTEST LOGGING SYSTEM
Please join the mailing list - see on my Home Page
Page updated 14/04/2005
NEW VERSION - 2005/1
I've added a facility for the Microwave fraternity - Alt/X toggles a cross-band marker, which will be exported, and automatically halves the score for the contact. It also shows in the "force log" dialog.
I've also changed the default new filename, to include the current date. I can't do much more than that in DOS 8.3 filenames. This makes creating new contests easier (you won't get clashing filenames) and also makes it easier to see when a particular contest file was created - often showing the actual contest date.

VERSION - 2005/0
I've put the first 2005 version up for everyone to try out. In particular, it has the facility (in conteste) to go through all the details for an entry before exporting the .LOG file.
I DO NOT save these details in the GJV file, as this would entail a format change. However, if most people like the facility, and we hone the way it works to our satisfaction, I'll bit the bullet and make the change to the .GJV file, which will be a case of the program will read old files as "read only", but only write in the new format. Old versions and the real mode version will then NOT be able to read a file from the new version.
Once again - this format change hasn't happened yet! So contact me via the mailing list to say what you think.
This 2005 version also copes with the rule change for 2005 moving to "commenced kilometer" scoring; don't worry about it - the VHFCC rescores all logs anyway!
2005 rule changes – commenced kilometer scoring
"Section" added to main contest dialog

VERSION - 2004
V2004.1.0 is only slightly changed fromV2003.1.0. Very few comments have been made! In particular, I HAVE NOT revised the beacon list files; there may well be faults in them. This version uses the CTY.dat file from CT unchanged, plus a simplified modification file CTY.SYN
This self extracting ZIP file (run program to extract files) contains a VHF contest logging program particularly aimed at UK/RSGB contests, although others may find it useful.
This version deals with the 2004 RSGB contest rules, essentially no change for several years.
Requires a minimum of single 720K floppy, 640Mb RAM IBM PC or
clone. Includes a built in NGR - Lat/Long - Maidenhead
calculator. This system is FREE, not shareware.
If you download it you may freely redistribute it. Look in
manual,asc/manual.doc for the list of major changes in this
version.

If you find bugs, or have any suggestions for improvements in
the logging system, then please Send me Email! - or
use the mailing list
As bugs are found I will post them on:
Logging Program current bug list.
I now also have a program that will export from a GJV file in ADIF format, allowing contest logs to be exported to general logging software. This program should be unzipped into the same directory as the main logging software, as it uses the same control files. (Also updated to use CTY.dat/CTY.syn) This program is likely to receive a range of enhancements!
