CQP and CQPWIN Contest Logging Programs

               (c) Andy Faber, AE6Y  8/24/99



     Now available for download are Version 7.0 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 7.0 of CQPWIN, which has been

changed extensively since the last version uploaded, version 6.5,

and has some bug fixes and enhancements over version 6.0.  Both

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

(SS), and the CQ Worked Prefixes Contest (WPX).  CQPWIN also adds

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

for 1999 (one point for in-country contacts).  CQPWIN 7.0 also has



other new features, including: instant dupe checking as you type

and a keyboard cw mode, Y2K compliance, ARRL DX, JARL AA, CQWW contests,

ADIF export capability, and enhanced rates and stats display and

postcontest output (including electronic log submission format).



     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 README70.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.
