EQP_2004.exe (Re: [Elecraft] Yes! EQP-2005 is this weekend)
Hi Gus, Thanks for the offer. I built the programm rather quickly at the time, and am aware of the weaknesses of some of the methods used. If I do a proper rewrite, then I would consider going to .NET, especially now that Mono http://www.go-mono.com/ and DotGNU http://dotgnu.org/ are well underway. DotNet might be a good base technology for an Open Source contest log programm, which can run on many platforms. As nice as Java is, I can not speak Java, and it tends to be rather slow. I used PureBasic, because compilers exsist for AmigaOS, Linux, Windows, there is a beta for MacOS, and PureBasic is inexpensive. The EditorGadget seemed to be an easy way to store the data, so that the operator could correct errors. It turns out that this (up to now) does not work as well as I hoped it would. Reducing the overhead of the tags is one thing which would have to be done, and linked lists for stuff like dupe checking. Nonetheless, sooner or later the EditorGadget will cause problems. This may be fixed in PureBasic 4.xx. Currently PureBasic is at 3.93 on windows. vy 73 de toby ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Yes! EQP-2005 is this weekend
The Elecraft QSO Party -- pre-announced in January -- will indeed be happening this weekend from 1500 UTC Saturday (March 12) to 1500 Sunday. We'll have the rules page updated by tomorrow, along with an official and final announcement. The basic rules have not changed, but we'll add links to any new software, etc. See Jerry's comment below about Writelog. There was some very useful feedback on the rules from last year (thanks, everyone). We hope to incorporate some changes in the future, but ran out of time for this year's contest. (Been busy around here!) Hopefully, this means that no one will have to do any software rewrites. Stay tunedand keep your fingers crossed for good conditions. Anyone check the forecast? 73, Wayne N6KR On Mar 8, 2005, at 8:27 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is it really gonna happen? Writelog has updated the EQP module for the 2005 rules (Where are they posted?). So WL users will want to down load WL1053e.
