Tucnak Wiki

This site is intended to serve as documentation for Tucnak - multiplatform hamradio contest log. You can read it, create your own pages or correct spelling.

I maintain this site in English only, since I am not able to maintain more than one languages. English is preferred because most of hams understand it. But this wiki is not restricted to English - you can write pages in your native language. Many thanks to Jerôme F0FLO for maintaining the site in French, Hannes DK1HJ in German and Sergey RA3WND and Vitaliy UR6LAD in Russian.

Because of spammer's attacks you must ask me (ok1zia.AT.nagano.cz) to allow account create. Sorry.
