    <h2>Why KST4Contest exists</h2>
    <p>
      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.
    </p>

    <h2>Open source and practical</h2>
    <p>
      The project is open source and focused on practical contest station workflows.
      Features are designed around real operating pressure, not theoretical UI concepts.
