What is a .WTB file?

A .WTB file is a special kind of computer file used by people who participate in ham radio contests using a program called Win-Test. Ham radio contests are competitions where operators try to contact as many other operators as possible within a certain time frame. The .WTB file keeps a record of all the important details of these contests.

When someone uses Win-Test to join a ham radio contest, the program creates a .WTB file. This file includes the settings they chose for the contest, like which frequencies they plan to use or the contest's rules. More importantly, it keeps a log, or list, of every other radio operator they successfully contact during the competition. This list is crucial because it's how participants prove how many contacts they made, which is how winners are determined.

After the contest is over, the people who organize the contest can ask participants to send them their .WTB files. By looking at these files, the organizers can check if the participants are telling the truth about how many contacts they made. This helps keep the contest fair for everyone.

To open a .WTB file, you need to use the Win-Test program. This is the same program that creates the file during the contest. There aren't many other programs that can open a .WTB file because it's designed specifically for use with Win-Test. So, if you're involved in ham radio contests and use Win-Test, it's important to know how to work with .WTB files to participate properly and verify your contest results.
