You may now choose to delete the archive and installation files from the temporary download directory. To verify that WriteLog is using the new CTY files: Launch WriteLog either using a previous contest or start a new one. In the callsign field, enter a US or Canadian call:
VY2ZM - should show Canada PEI
In the callsign field, enter a Australian call:

Contest support provided by third parties

Several authors have written a number of modules for contests not in WriteLog. Third party modules do not need a particular version of WriteLog. Upgrading WriteLog does not affect your ability to run them.

These modules are supported by their authors and not by K5DJ or W5XD. 

 
Sound Board Check V9.22

This is an updated sound board checker that correctly scores newer sound boards that have a separate multiplexer on the digitizing input and will work with WL V9.22 and later. Instructions: unzip this file to sbrdchk.exe and run it.

WlContestWizard15.zip(03/10/30)

If you're a C++ programmer, here's all you need to create your own contest modules for WriteLog. These are the same tools the author uses to create contests for WriteLog. Microsoft Visual C++ Version 6 or Version 5 with service pack 3 or  is required. The wizard features check boxes to support logging multipliers for DXCC countries, zones, lists of named multipliers, and lists of named multipliers accumulated as you go. 

version 15 adds support for Trusted QSL station locations, and for many more Cabrillo output options to be set up by the multiplier module.

version 14 adds the ability for the multiplier module to tell WriteLog grid squares.

version 13 adds the ability to update exchange fields on the fly, and adds some commentary about existing functionality in IWritelg.h

version 11 adds instructions for how to create summary sheets. (there are no code changes in version 11)

version 10 adds support for WriteLog's "multiplier is worth mm:ss" display. (Only in version 10.38 and higher)

version 9 adds support for CQ WW-style multi-2 displays.

version 8 adds support for multi-line Cabrillo output from a single QSO.

version 7 adds support for WriteLog's multi/single 10 minute rule go/no-go display. And also fixes a bug with overwriting QSO information when the number of multipliers won't fit in the QSO field it writes to. All existing multiplier modules should be inspected for calls to _itoa that were generated by the wizard version 6 and older. Any such calls should be replaced by calls to CvtLongToAscii (with slightly different arguments) per the instructions in readme.txt.

version 6 adds support for customizing ADIF fields by contest modules.

version 5 adds initialization to the countryIndex local variable in QsoAdd()/QsoRem()

The wizard version 4 adds automation of serial number support.

Instructions: Choose an empty folder to do your development and preserve the directory structure when you unzip the above archive. Then look at ReadMe.txt.
