Manual input of a paper log:

SM2EZT has made a program for manual input of a paper log after the contest. The output file will be a CABRILLO-file for checking your log in a log checking program. The Cabrillo file will be called yourcall_NRAU07_CW.log or yourcall_NRAU07_PH.log (example: 7S3A_NRAU07_CW.log). Cabrillo editor for NRAU Baltic by SM2EZT (Version 1.11 - 21 January 2006) It’s only one .exe-file called NRAUMan.exe (518 kB). Due to restrictions from the server provider we have to distribute the file as a .zip-file called NRAUMan.zip (258 kB). CLICK HERE to download the latest version of the program How to install: Save in a temporary directory, unzip the file using WinZip or similar, use File Manager to put NRAUMan.exe in a folder that you prefer (example: C:/Ham/NRAUMan).
