Download

To download and install the Writelog modules, just click on the link below and save the file to your disk. Then execute it and follow the instructions on the screen, including choosing the modules you want to install.

I have made some changes to the install routine, so I recommend you uninstall any old version of the modules before you install the current version.

Download WLCM_DL1EFD_080414.exe (Version 1.0.2.8 of April 14, 2008)

Usage (IARU Region 1 V/U/SHF)

For the IARU V/U/SHF Contest, remember to go to "Contest->Parameter Setup" to input your Locator. Also if you want to make QSOs on more than one band, go to "Setup->Sort Order Serial Numbers" to select "QSO serial numbers are seperate by band". The Rich Text template for the summary sheet does not look very good if opened with Wordpad but it is very close to the Original Summary Sheet when opened in MS Word.
