Trofeo ARI 50 MHz (Contest Romagna, Lazio, Gargano, Lario, FD Sicilia, Grosseto).IAC - Italian Activity Contest VHF and UHF-SHF.WAE - Worked All Europe DX Contest CW/SSB/RTTY.SAC Scandinavian Activity Contest (CW/SSB).Contest Delle Sezioni ARI HF (also SWL).ARI International DX Contest (also SWL).Therefore, those who have already used CT will probably find themselves at ease in using QARTest. Having always been a fan of CT, I decided that I would keep, as far as possible, similar appearance and modes of operation. Given the enthusiasm with which QARTest was received, I decided to release it to public. In May 2006 the new version was ready, and the contests from IR4M were a success.

This time commitment was different: having been invited to join the Romagna Contest Team (IR4M) in both contests, the software should have worked in network, with additional features. Everything worked fine, so I decided to upgrade it to manage the next Contest delle Sezioni and ARI DX International. In December 2005 a first prototype was ready, just in time for the Contest. No bells and whistles needed, but able to manage all the main features with the keyboard. It should have been effective, reliable and easy to use. Having some programming skills, I decided to try to build one myself. I really needed a powerful tool like CT for the Italian 40-80 in December! Supported versions are XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11, both 32 and 64bit.Įverything started a few years ago, in mid 2005.Īt that time, CT by K1EA was the best tool available, but it only managed international contests, there were no similar software for the Italian contests. What is QARTest? QARTest is a free Ham Radio contest logging program for Windows.
