## Sked Reminders (Sked Reminder Service)
## Sked Reminders with ALERT (from v1.40)
For agreed skeds, automatic reminder PMs can be configured, sent X minutes before the agreed time. Reminders are activated from the FurtherInfo panel.
A sked reminder service with automatic messages can be activated for each chat member. Configurable interval patterns:
- **2+1 minutes**: Messages at 2 min and 1 min before the sked.
- **5+2+1 minutes**: Messages at 5, 2 and 1 min before the sked.
- **10+5+2+1 minutes**: Messages at 10, 5, 2 and 1 min before the sked.
In addition to the automated messages to the remote station, there is an **acoustic and visual notification** for your own operator so no sked is ever missed.
Activate from the FurtherInfo panel of the corresponding station.

## Priority List / Score Service
## QSO Sniffer (from v1.31)
KST4Contest automatically calculates a **priority list** of the most interesting contacts, based on:
The QSO sniffer monitors the chat for messages from a configurable callsign list and automatically forwards them to the **PM window**. This prevents relevant messages from being lost in the general chat traffic.
- Direction detection
Configuration: [Configuration – Sniffer Settings](en-Configuration#sniffer-settings-from-v131)

## Win-Test Integration (from v1.31, fully configurable from v1.40)
KST4Contest fully supports [Win-Test](https://www.win-test.com/) as a logging programme:
- **Log synchronisation**: Worked stations are automatically retrieved from Win-Test and marked in the user list.
- **Frequency parsing**: The current TRX frequency is read from Win-Test UDP packets and populates the `MYQRG` variable.
- **Sked handover (SKED push via UDP)**: Agreed skeds from KST4Contest can be pushed directly to Win-Test, so the remote callsign appears in Win-Test's sked window.
Details: [Configuration – Win-Test Network Listener](en-Configuration#win-test-network-listener)

## PSTRotator Interface (from v1.31, fully configurable from v1.40)
KST4Contest can control antenna direction directly via **PSTRotator**. When a station is selected in the user list, the rotator can automatically be turned to the QTF of the selected station.
Configuration: [Configuration – PSTRotator Settings](en-Configuration#pstrotator-settings-from-v131)
---
## Band Alert for New QSOs (from v1.40)
When a station is logged, KST4Contest automatically checks whether that station has shown any other active bands in the chat that you are also QRV on. If so, a **hint alert** appears so no multi-band opportunity is missed.
---
## Worked Tag Lifetime (from v1.40)
Worked stations are automatically removed from the database after **3 days**. Manually resetting the worked database before each contest is therefore no longer strictly necessary – the database keeps itself up to date.
---
## Chatmember Score System / Priority List (from v1.40)
KST4Contest automatically calculates a **priority score** for each active chat member. The score is derived from:
- Antenna direction of the remote station (is it pointing towards me?)
- QRB (distance)
- Activity time and message count
- Active bands and frequencies
- AP availability (AirScout)
- Worked status
- Sked direction (degrees)
- Sked success rate and skedfail markings
The top candidates are shown in a separate list, helping you not to miss the most important stations during contest stress.
The top candidates are highlighted in a dedicated priority list, helping you not to miss the most important contacts during contest stress.
Stations with a failed sked can be marked using the **Skedfail button** in the FurtherInfo panel – this temporarily lowers their score.
---
## AP Timeline (from v1.40)
A visual timeline shows up to 4 highly-scored stations per minute slot that should be workable via aircraft scatter. Prioritisation criteria:
- **Highest reflection potential** is preferred (not necessarily the fastest arrival).
- Stations towards which your antenna is not pointing are shown **transparently**.
This gives the contest operator a quick overview of which stations will be reachable via which aircraft and at what time.
