Thank You! LOGGING PROGRAM SUPPORT AND RESOURCES: Some of the members of the OKDXA
have made efforts to provide multiplier and configurations files with brief "How to use" suggestion files for
some of the more popular logging programs. Files for your particular logging application are available by clicking one of
the following links. It should be mentioned that none of the contest logging programs below have updated their configurations to reflect the change which allows OK stations to count Oklahoma counties as multipliers EXCEPT N3FJP. Only N3FJP tabulates the score correctly. If you use any of the other programs, you would/should use manual
scoring to arrive at your final score. NO5W Contest Software (GPS Interface)
