CQP and CQPWIN Contest Logging Programs

               (c) Andy Faber, AE6Y  9/20/98



     Now available for download are Version 6.0 of CQPWIN, AE6Y's

contest logger for windows, and version 5.5 of CQP, the DOS version

of the program.  The file CQPDOS.EXE contains version 5.5 of CQP

(same as the version uploaded November 1997), while the file

CQPWINDO.EXE contains Version 6.0 of CQPWIN, which has been changed

extensively since the last version uploaded, version 5.5.  Both

programs log the California QSO Party (CQP), the ARRL SweepStakes (SS),

and the CQ Worked Prefixes Contest (WPX).  Both have been modified

to add the new 78th and 79th sections for SS contests.  CQPWIN also

adds the NA Sprint contest, and incorporates the new WPX scoring change

for 1999 (one point for in-country contacts).  CQPWIN also has other

new features, including instant dupe checking as you type and a keyboard

cw mode.



     All the files needed to operate the programs are included, along

with readme files and sample logs.



     The DOS program is stored in a self-extracting compressed

file called CQPDOS.EXE. To extract the files, simply run the 

program (i.e., type CQPDOS at the DOS prompt for the directory 

where you have put this program).  Then read the text file

README55.TXT and start to use the program.



     The Windows program is in the compressed file CQPWINDO.EXE. 

Decompress it as above, read the README60.TXT file, and start the

program under Windows 3.1 or 95.  



     These are full-featured programs that log, dupe, keep stats, 

send CW messages and exchanges, and generate postcontest paperwork.

The Windows program also features InstaMatch (callsign matching from

the current log and/or past logs as you type).  It also interfaces to

a SoundBlaster card to send prerecorded .wav files for CQ's, etc., and

to send callsigns and exchanges.  Complete help files are incorporated.

    

     Please contact me with any problems or suggestions.  My address

and phone number are in the README files.  Good luck!  73, Andy, AE6Y.
