Hi Everyone,

Version 6 of the WorkedGrids software is now available for download on my website. This version adds a zoom-in feature and an auto-detection of the band data for the ADIF and Cabrillo formats. This means that there is no longer a need to examine the log file when using an ADIF or Cabrillo format file.

WorkedGrids is a ham log grid square mapping software. It is a freeware and it runs under Windows. The program displays a map showing the amateur radio grid squares
contacted and logged in using a third-party logging program. WorkedGrids uses colors to display information on a per-band basis. Up to four bands can be displayed concurrently on the map. For its input, the program reads the plain-text (ASCII) log files generated by most logging programs as well as ADIF-format files. 
            
This project was initiated because I could not find a logging program that provided the level of detail and mapping quality that I wanted. The software is directed towards the VHF and above operators who collect grid squares for contesting or award purpose. It is designed to supplement a logging program and it replaces the pen and paper technique.

Please visit http://ve2zaz.net for more details. Your input is still welcome!

Best Regards,

Bert, VE2ZAZ
