Tucnak Wiki
This site is intended to serve as documentation for Tucnak - hamradio VHF 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.

About Tucnak
Tucnak is multiplatform VHF/HF contest logbook. It is executable on Linux and other unix-type systems. Since v3 also native under MS Windows (no Cygwin required). You can download Tucnak from http://tucnak.nagano.cz/download.php . HF support is limited because I'm not QRV here. Feedback is welcome.

Converting from TACLog
The source of inspiration for Tucnak was the DOS program TACLog (Author: Bo, OZ2M) as Lada, OK1ZIA freely admits. In the late 1990s TACLog was in regular use by over 200 stations, many continuing with the same logger today.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to run a full-service TACLog, with CQ-caller, CW keyer and auto PTT as it must run directly on MS-DOS and requires a 'real' Soundblaster card.
In this section I hope to provide useful information for those contemplating changing from TACLog to Tucnak and I would like to encourage everyone to add their knowledge and experience here to help and assist others coming after.
