[Ham-Linux] New topic: software useful for upcoming ARRL Field day

[doc at kd4e.com]

It does not claim to be a contest-logger, in fact he has encouraged
anyone to create a clone/fork that is optimized for contesting, but
that said - many have used it successfully in contests.

I guess it depends on individual operating style ...

FYI:

CQRLOG 1.0.0 released
Submitted by ok2cqr on Tue, 06/07/2011 - 20:32

After three months of releasing alpha, beta and RC versions, there is 
1.0.0 final. It took almost 4 years to reach this milestone. When we 
started in 2007, it was not expected that CQRLOG will have over 700 
users worldwide (and some left Windows and moved to Linux to use our 
CQRLOG). Actually, there is > 700 registered users of the CQRLOG web 
site but the real number of users is probably much higher.

The development started in the beginning of 2007, first release was on 
27. Sep 2007. Since the 0.1.0, 29 program versions were released 
including alpha, beta and RC releases. Version 1.0.0 is our 30th 
release. Program consists now of over 71 000 code lines and includes 69 
windows.
News:

     * CQRLOG is now package ready (now .deb packages for Ubuntu and 
Debian only)
     * native 32bit and 64bit versions
     * support of multiple logs
     * membership (> 70 clubs, 5 of them can be processed 
simultaneously) is tracked by membership number (if a club doesn't have 
numbers, callsign is used)
     * config file is stored directly to the main database. If a log is 
opened on another computer, the settings will remain the same
     * other windows (Grayline, Detail info, DX cluster etc.) 
auto-opened only if they were previously opened in running CQRLOG which 
was properly (regularly) closed
     * new faster ADIF import
     * CQRLOG can be used on local computer with MySQL embedded or on a 
MySQL server, CQRLOG can be run on another (remote) machine
     * echo for telnet DX cluster added (the sent-out command is also 
displayed in DX cluster window)
     * clear log function added (in database connection window all log 
data can be erased but the log file is not deleted)
     * new About window added
     * changelog in .html format added
     * membership databases updated
     * manual page added
