Hello Contest is a simple logging application for ham radio contests for Linux. It is written in Go using gotk3 for the UI. As I'm using this only for CW contests on HF, I have no idea how useful this program is for other modes or higher frequencies. If you have any suggestions, please don't hesitate and create an issue.

Features

  • Enter your contacts simple and fast using the keyboard.
  • Use the popular "enter sends message" method to enter your contacts.
  • Show the current rate of QSOs, points, and multis in a comprehensive graphic.
  • Calculate your points, multis, and score both per band and overall. The calculation is done using the conval library. You can select the contest definition in the settings dialog (File > Settings).
  • Export the logbook as Cabrillo, ADIF, CSV, or call history file.
  • Get additional information about the entered callsign from the DXCC and super check partial databases, or a call history file.
  • Use a call history file from a former contest to predict the exchange for the currently entered callsign.
  • Use a dx cluster or a local CW skimmer and show the spotted stations in a spot list.
  • Define different CW macros for the running and the search&pounce working mode.
  • Connect to your transceiver through the Hamlib network protocol to keep the band and mode information in sync.
  • Use the Hamlib daemon or the cwdaemon to transmit CW macros.
  • Show the currently worked station on F5UII's HamDXMap.
