This database, currently comprising 2671 HF contest stations worldwide, was begun by  K7ZO in the 1995-97 timeframe and has been continually updated. In  2001, the workload involved in updating the database manually was becoming too much, but I was unwilling to make a transition to direct online updating because of the security problems that might ensue. 

Fortunately, Mike, NF4L rode to the rescue and wrote a nifty little program to update the database quickly and easily.  With that, I have been able to keep up with updating on a monthly basis.

The reason for all this explanation is to emphasize that you should not expect your information to be updated in the database as soon as you enter it; typically, there will be a 2-4 week lag.  If I can figure out a better way to do it, I'll change things, but until then... 

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the database.  The basic query is by callsign, but as time permits and I learn more about SQL, I will add queries to permit you to find out which stations use what antennas, radios, and software.
