What's LM?
LM is a program to edit contest logs ex post; a so-called “contest post processor”. With help of LM the user shall be able to convert his “raw data” to an up-to-date electronic log in a comfortable way and with as less effort as possible. What does it mean: “raw data”? This can be data

  • of other contest programs
  • from text files
  • from paper logs
LM provides conversion routines to read
  • binary files of established contest programs (e.g. CT, NA, QW)
  • STF files
  • Cabrillo files
  • ADIF files
  • any ASCII text file
Furthermore, LM contains an integrated log editor to type in paper logs or to edit the log ex post. Supported by a special input-turbo (“Fast append mode”) the input effort will be reduced to a minimum. In addition, LM tries to take over as much work as possible. LM “knows” states, provinces, member-numbers etc. for the supported 63 contests and recommends expedient values automatically.

All this makes LM interesting for a wide range of users. For the contester that wants to convert his small paper log fast and comfortable in a standardized electronic log as well as for the contest manager who is confronted with a lot of binary and text file formats and needs to convert them to a standard format as fast as possible.

One more advantage of LM is that beside the big international contest primarily smaller European contests are supported.
