I have had an email from Tim EI8IC about a software tool he is marketing :
"I thought people might be interested in my new VK Callbook Mapper programme: http://www.mapability.com/ei8ic/vkcallbook/
It does a lot of interesting things with callbook data, including the ability to plot VK Shires, and perform spatial queries that relate them to callbook data, other datasets, and imported logs. Useful in the contest!

Visit via the above link if you are intrigued by how it might assist.
Price seems reasonable ( sub-$30 AUD) if you require such a tool.
eg:
"The ContestRadar.com website shows the operating positions of current mobile and portable contest or special-event stations. Their website lets you plot the entries on a map, but here you can do the same, plus perform spatial queries to get the distance and bearing of every other station on the website, as well as reference their positions to the other data tables in the VK Callbook Mapper: very handy to find the nearest towns, or SOTA or WWFF entities."
