Bob I most strongly disagree with you on this. A contest program is a totally different type of animal. Even the contest program authors have a difficult time keeping up with the contests, rule changes, equipment changes etc. etc.
And they have volunteers writing Contest Modules, Friend, Country, and DTA files to reflect the monthly changes. And then you must consider that contesters would want SO2R, with Stack Match controls. There is a reason such a critter doesn't already exist.... no Ham Software author has lived long enough yet to have been able to complete it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Main" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "DXBase" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2005 5:57 PM Subject: [Dxbase] Wishlist for DXB 2007 >I was wondering, why can't DXBase have a contest mode?
