The Win1010 Suite is actually four programs in one EXE Program File and is sold as two packages: Package One is the Contest Program and Package Two is the County Hunter and Certificate Chaser Program. A Daily Log Program is also available in the Win1010 Suite and works with both packages. Normally the Contest Program is referred to as Win1010 and the County Hunter Package as Win1010CH. The programs are sold in two packages because many of the County Hunters, Certificate Chasers and Awards chasers do not work contests. And likewise, many of the contest people do not collect awards. So you don't have to pay for a module that you won't be using. However, if you only purchase one package, the other package is still present in the Win1010 Suite and works in the Demo mode with a 25 record limit.
This is the new Windows 95/98 Version of the K4HAV 1010 Contest Program. Download it from the Internet and try it in the Demo Mode which will allow you to enter up to 25 QSO's. This program combines many of the features of the 1010 and 1010SB Contest Programs, the K4HAV FCC Search Program and the Zip Code Program. A separate County Hunter Program with Certificate support has been added. A screen capture display of the contest program is posted to a web page. Some of the features of Win1010:
Supports the Buckmaster, Flying Horse, and QRZ Callbook CD's as well as XXIP and the K4HAV FCC Database.
Accesses the K4HAV DOS-based County Hunter Program files during the contest and will flag all new 10X, VP and Counties worked. These flags are shown on the screen capture display mentioned above.
The 1010 and VP databases are included. Updates are available from the hds.net web site monthly. A contest database (DB95.DAT) is also included that is a collection of over 18,000 hams that have worked the previous contests. Users of the DOS-based 1010 Contest Program have sent their logs to the author that has compiled this database. Many stations worked in future contest will be in the contest database and you will only have to confirm their info.
Conversion routines for converting DOS version logs and contest databases into the Windows 95/98 format. Routines for merging logs into contest databases as well as merging two contest databases. Routines for updating contest databases with new 10X and new calls. Routines for removing Silent Keys and dupes from contest databases.
The Help File is compiled into the RTF format and can be accessed from the Help Menu. The Help File is also posted on a web page and can be read before downloading the program.
8 Help Topics can be displayed in the Help Topic Window. Included in the Help Topics is the Beacon List which was downloaded from the 1010 International Web Site. The ARRL DXCC Country List. A country with prefix list by countries and reversed by prefixes. Four user defined help files can be displayed. Use these for schedules or anything needed for instant display.
A Note Pad Function. Up to four 256 character notes can be written and saved for each contact.
Partial Call Search. Both the Contest Database and Log are searched for partial calls. The results are displayed in the two message windows.
Sound support. The computer's sound card can be used to record and play contest messages, such as CQ's, info exchanges, QRZ. A continuous off-the-air loop can be recorded and replayed if you missed a call or just wanted to hear that rare contact you made again. Playback and record routines are provided within the program for making and testing your recordings. A sample drawing is available for download on the Win1010 Download web page.
Provides for two station logging. Many contest operators also give out numbers for their club station. This option will allow logging selected QSO's to the second log. This feature could also be used by OM/XYL teams. An UserID file will be provided by email by request for the Club Station or the XYL Operator.
Provides contest log export in various formats including the ADIF Universal Contest Format. The program can also import logs in the ADIF format. The contest logs can be exported into the K4HAV 1010 County Hunter Program and Daily Log. An ASCII copy of the contest log and dupesheet is available for emailing.
