<h1>Help shape the future of KST4Contest.</h1>
<p class="lead">
KST4Contest is an independent open-source project developed in my free time.
Your support helps cover infrastructure costs and enables new contest-oriented
features that would otherwise be difficult to implement.

<h2>Real improvements funded by the community.</h2>

<div class="grid">
<article class="card">
<h3>🛰 PSTRotator Integration</h3>
<p>
Support helped justify the investment into rotor hardware and the required
PSTRotator license. Today KST4Contest can automatically control antennas
during contest operation.

<article class="card">
<h3>🗺 Interactive Map</h3>
<p>
The interactive station map required commercial map API usage.
Community support helped cover those API costs and made the feature possible.

<h2>What future support will fund</h2>
</div>
<div class="grid">
<article class="card">
<h3>☁ Map API</h3>
<p>
Keeping the online map service available requires ongoing API usage.
</p>
</article>
<article class="card">
<h3>📡 Tropo Server</h3>
<p>
Future propagation prediction services and server-side calculations
will require dedicated hosting infrastructure.
</p>

<article class="card">
<h3>🔌 New Integrations</h3>
<p>
Development of additional interfaces, logging software integrations,
contest tools and automation features.
</p>
</article>
<article class="card">
<h3>🚀 Faster Development</h3>
<p>
More development time means more contest-oriented features,
better testing and better documentation.
