Summary

This sixth release of Morse Runner Community Edition introduces the ARRL Sweepstakes Contest, plus general enhancements and bug fixing for all contests. Call history files were also updated.

The ARRL Sweepstakes Contest was widely requested and is an accomplishment because it has such a complicated exchange. We had to "redo" how the program looked at exchanges, and it will help add new contests in the future. Because this contest is so different, please take a look at the Readme.txt file in the Contest Section to see how to enter the exchange for this contest.

Work is also done on how the program interacts with the user with feedback and things like a minimize button. We are also wishing to be more mindful with N1MM and how it functions.

Please stay "tuned" to our project and provide feedback. Avid CW contesters and Pascal programmers is a plus but not necessary. Your help is greatly appreciated because exciting things are being planned for the 1.90 release. (that's all I'm saying for now) So get involved, join the fun!

The full list of changes for this release is below.

Installation

Download the Morse.Runner.1.85.1.zip file (also available in the Assets section below), Open the zip file, extract the folder to your DESKTOP, and run MorseRunner.exe within this folder. Do not add these files to a previous release folder, or place in a windows program directory as this causes errors.. After installing, read the Readme.txt file for more information.
