Contest Logging Program
Written by WA4ZAJ and NJ4F
QSO is a contest logging program designed to assist both the
seasoned contester and the new contester in logging contacts for
the Virginia QSO party held in the spring of each year. This
software was written by WA4ZAJ with contest input from NJ4F. QSO
was written using Clipper Version 5.01a and linked using Blinker
Version 2.01. The file structures provided with this
documentation are of the standard DBase format, however, the
index files are Clipper specific format. Do not attempt to modify
the database files with any version of DBase or any other program
that reads and writes DBase files.
The program has been distributed with the following files:

LICENSE AGREEMENT
QSO is provided as shareware to any person wanting to operate the
Virginia QSO Party. The cost of this software is $5.00. This
pricing is only to allow the developers the ability to recapture
some of the cost associated with the purchase of diskette,
mailings, and documentation reproduction. If you purchase this
software from a hamfest, Ham Radio store or by mail, the cost
will be $5.00
If you receive this software from another source (BBS, another
HAM), you are requested to send $2.00 to the developers of the
software.
This license is valid until July 1, 1994. After that date the
software will no longer work. This was done to insure that the
software would be current each year with the changes made in the
contest.
Should you receive a copy of the software for the 1994 contest
and wish to use it for the 1995 contest, you should reorder the
software after November 1, 1995.
This software was developed without the assistance of the contest
committee, however, after numerous conversations with the contest
director, modifications have been made to insure consistency with
the 1994 Virginia QSO Party Rules and Regulations. If you need a
official copy of the rules and regulations, please send the
contest director a request for the official rules with a SASE.
This request should be sent to:
W.T. Free
Virginia QSO Party Contest Director
3627 Great Laurel Lane
Fairfax, Virginia 22033-1212
All logs and summary sheets must be sent to the same address and
received no later that April 15, 1994 in order to be accepted.
