About

# Built for real contest operation.

KST4Contest was created to turn ON4KST chat activity into actionable contest workflow.

## Why KST4Contest exists

Generic chat clients display messages. KST4Contest goes further: it helps operators identify candidates, manage skeds, use AirScout timing, synchronize with loggers and reduce workload during VHF/UHF/SHF contests.

## Open source and practical

The project is open source and focused on practical contest station workflows. Features are designed around real operating pressure, not theoretical UI concepts.

## Community supported

KST4Contest is developed independently. Community support helps finance hosting, online services, testing across multiple operating systems and future contest-oriented features.
