This is a near full Release since the migration to github. Below you can see the full changelog of v1.40 to v1.41

Changelog (Features / New Features)

  • Band and Frequency Detection per Chatmember — KST4Contest identifies which bands or frequencies a station appears active or reachable on based on chat data. This information is integrated into the display and prioritization.

  • Band Alert — If a logged station could be of interest on other locally active bands, KST14Contest can alert the user.

  • Sked Reminder ALERT — New reminder function for planned Skeds to ensure that agreed contacts are not forgotten during contest operation.

  • Skedfail Button — Failed Skeds can be marked; this allows the station to be handled differently in terms of score and workflow.

  • Win-Test SKED Push via UDP — Skeds can be passed to Win-Test via a LOCKSKED/ADDSKED/UNLOCKSKED sequence. This feature is configurable in the preferences and disabled by default.

  • Win-Test Broadcast Defaults and SKed Workflow — Improved broadcast addresses, frequency formats, mode selection, and notes including locator/azimuth.

  • PSTRotator Interface — KST4Contest received an interface to PSTRoter to better integrate antenna direction and rotator workflow.

  • QSO /-Callsign Sniffer — Callsigns or QSO-relevant information can be detected and utilized for further workflow.

  • Chat History at Startup — Historical chat data can be loaded upon startup, allowing the client to quickly gain relevant context for scoring, activity, and station identification.

  • Station Map / Map View — New map view with station markers, your own location, locator/Maidenhead reference, connection line, and antenna/beam representation.

  • Local Leaflet /-TileProxy Backend — The map function utilizes embedded Leaflet resources and a local TileProxy approach, making the map more portable and independent.

  • Maidenhead /-Grid Overlay — The map can display locator/grid information; recently added Grid-Square coloring.

  • Path /-Terrain /-Horizon Profile — Map documentation describes a path profile with terrain, Fresnel, and horizon information for the selected link.

  • Tropo /-AS Reachability Filters — New filters and sorting were added for Tropospheric reachability, AirScoop availability, large locator fields, and priority.

  • Reachability Band Selector — Added a band selection for range/Troposphere calculations.

  • 4-Char Locator Filter — Locator evaluations can be reduced to 4-character fields; this improves overview and performance.

  • KST Testserver Support — A KST server test server was added into the Source.
