<p class=MsoNormal>Is there an overlay or template I can use for various STATE
QSO Parties?<br>
<br>
The only state QSO party I see supported in the contest drop down lists is
Texas.<br>
<br>
Just about every one of our States in the US is having a state QSO party this
year and for many of us hunting for the 3,000+ counties this is one way to get
those contacts.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions on how to use this great win-test program for state qso
parties?<o:p></o:p></p>

Many of us have been asking for the same thing for many months.
Unfortunately, the Win-Test developers have decided that state QSO parties will
not be a priority, for various reasons.<br>
<br>
See <a href="http://www.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2008-May/075730.html">this

<p class=MsoNormal>1/ Win-Test has *not* being designed to allow users or
third-party<br>
programmers to write their own contest "modules", or to modify the<br>
existing ones.<br>
<br>
2/ Apart from very few exceptions, we<br>
don't intend to add every QSO party today, mostly because there are<br>
very numerous and rules are pretty hard to include in our current core<br>
(ex : Rovers with multiple Q depending on his location, etc.). In short,<br>
the TX QP has been written by accident and is not so well supported.<br>
<br>
3/ Our choice to add such or such contest, is today much more oriented<br>
by its nature (how many entrants, history, rules modifications along the<br>
years, published format of the Cabrillo log file and rules, etc.)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>We know that the lack of supported QP is currently a major
bump for US<br>
users (at least, the "casual" contesters) to adopt Win-Test. On the<br>
other hand, we always claimed we wanted to favor WT features to help<br>
users to seriously compete, rather than the number of supported<br>
contests, or - more generally - the number of users.<o:p></o:p></p>
