After the contest, use SDCHECK (included with SD) to create your Cabrillo log. SD V14.11, released October 2008, is the only contest logger to fully support all aspects of the LZ Open. It shows individual countdown timers for calls that have been logged within the previous 30 minutes, and it highlights calls that have become available to work within the previous 10 minutes. You don't even need to type the call - the statistics is in front of your eyes : just watch and act ! Use SD in the LZOpen - you will not be disappointed.
