WT4I Contest Tools is a suite of programs designed to mange contest logs in the Cabrillo format. Log Checker, Cabrillo Converter, and Master Call Maintenance were written primarily for contest managers and log checkers to help them expedite checking logs and to produce contest results is a timely manner. However, all three utilities will be of great use to any contester and should be considered as part of their contest log arsenal along with their favorite logging software.

LC  WT4I Log Checker
WT4I Log Checker allows one to get a look at the log in a different view than what is provided by most contest logging programs. The user can easily spot bad or busted calls and missed or bad exchanges. The individual user is given the opportunity to look at the log in much the same way as an official log checker. Obvious data entry errors can be easily be fixed prior to submitting the final log.

CC   Cabrillo Converter
Cabrillo Converter allows one to convert just about any column based ASCII log into the Cabrillo format. The user simply identifies each of the columns through simple clicks of the mouse, enters in the required header information, and saves the log in the Cabrillo format. The resultant log is ready for log checking with WT4I Log Checker or for electronic submission.

MC   Master Call Maintenance
Master Call Maintenance allows one to create and maintain their own master call sign database for use with the WT4I Log Checker utility. The user can build a master call sign database from existing super check partial files, or semi-automatically build one from the call signs found in Cabrillo format logs.

Thanks to Eddie G0AZT, Wayne K7WM, and Ron K5DJ for their tremendous support of the Cabrillo Tools development project. Special thanks to Eddie for the inspiration of the project and the many hours converting and checking literally hundreds of past logs. - wt4i
