  Some exciting news about EI8IC's unique Contest Log Mapping Tool - its
  now completely FREE to use, and its just been updated with the results
  of 35 new contests.

  Working from an online database of about 970,000 W/VE callsigns past
  and present, LogView plots the QSOs in a Cabrillo-format contest-log
  on to one of 8 different maps of North America.

  Essentially a post-contest log-visualisation tool for analysing
  contest performance, LogView is also useful in defining gaps in your
  antenna coverage, by comparing the positions of entrants to the
  contest against those entrants actually contacted.

  You can step through the log manually, or animate the contest at a
  range of speeds and watch QSOs build up in the order that you made
  them. Each spot can be annotated with a callsign-label, and you can
  keep a running check of Multipliers worked, position - distance -
  bearing information for each QSO, and a variety of other information,
  whilst choosing which bands are currently displayed.

  All the maps you create can be saved for offline viewing and detailed
  future analysis - full details on the website.

  The following contests are supported by LogView: ARRL-10 ARRL-160
  ARRL-DX-CW ARRL-DX-SSB ARRL-RTTY ARRL-SS-CW ARRL-SS-SSB ARRL-VHF-JAN
  ARRL-VHF-JUN ARRL-VHF-SEP ARRL-UHF-AUG CQ-160-CW CQ-160-SSB CQ-WPX-CW
  CQ-WPX-RTTY CQ-WPX-SSB CQ-VHF CQ-WW-CW CQ-WW-RTTY CQ-WW-SSB IARU-HF
  NAQP-CW NAQP-RTTY NAQP-SSB RSGB-IOTA STEW-PERRY TARA-RTTY

  LogView also has a separate, dedicated Results-Viewer, that lets you
  create a map of the published contest results for any one of over 120
  different contests, and compare them to the results of other contests
  in the database.
