ZCZ Contest (under development)

This software is designed for beginner and intermediate single operator contesters. It is being prototyped and is available for comments on the look and feel. All functions work more or less but have not been thoroughly tested.

Do not use in a real contest without several hours practice logging.

  • Simple to set up for a contest
  • Designed for Australian contests as well as general contests
  • Contest context sensitive
  • Controls two radios via Omnirig 1.20
  • Receive and send DX cluster spots via ZCZ Cluster
  • You can add new and configure contests. I added the AREG Oct 2023 2M FM sprint in 59 seconds.
  • Logs in ADIF
  • Export logs to (customizable) Cabrillo format
  • Sample contest configurations
  • Sample logs

DX Cluster functions need DX Cluster Version 6.3.3 or later.

Radio functions need Omnirig 1.20
