OFFICIAL WEBSITE: www.lzopen.com/lzocc40/ LOGGING SOFTWARE that SUPPORTS LZ Open Contest: web site: SD by EI5DI - Free Windows Contest Logger - nice software that handles LZ Open type Contests Super Duper V13.37 released - 13th February 2008 In the LZ Open, it’s OK to work "dupes" if they’re more than 30 minutes old. The Check Partial window now ignores any older QSOs. If, having typed two or more prefix characters, the window is clear, you know the call will not be a dupe. Previously, you had to type the full call for the purpose of dupe checking. A new window displays a countdown of the time until stations previously worked can be worked again. Any call you hear that’s not already in this window cannot be a dupe - unless you’ve logged more than 40 QSOs in the last half hour. It also serves as a reminder to chase calls as their remaining time drops to zero. download UA1AAF LZcwc - Free excellent program written by Boris, UA1AAF, to handle LZOCC type contests web site: Gen Log by W3KM - Freeware program designed to do contest logging download: Logcfg.dat for TR Log Post by N6TR also : DXKEEPER , YO9HG/logare , AATest , MixW , Logix and many others..
