I've been busy the last couple of weekends busily coding up a program to assist me on checkpoints at future #EmergencyCommsExercise events.

We have an existing application, written in VisualBASIC 6… which works well, but I worry about future maintainability given its dependence on legacy proprietary development environments.

Therefore I made the decision to write my own: https://checkpointreporter.vk4msl.com/

It uses #Java so it's cross-platform, with fairly simple deployment steps (assuming JREv8+ is there already, just download the .jar and run it). We've got an event at #Southbrook which was moved after #CycloneAlfred wiped things out last time. We'll see how it goes on its inaugural run.
