Nolan, Just one comment as to contests and DX and why that is significant to this discussion. For both of those pursuits the RST is always (or at least 99.9% of the time) sent as 599. That's all I meant to reference as a difference to conversational CW where the RST is rarely 599 for most stations/l...

Yep, those are skimmer entries from RBN sites. Just as a preference I use the RBN system a lot more than user generated spots. However, I generate spots for folks who are trying to reach a broader audience and not getting caught (or decoded) by RBN. This is sometimes an issue for SKCC folks as we ar...

Hi lele, You could do what *every other logbook that I have ever used* does - set a default of 599 (or whatever the user selects in config) and let them either keep it or enter something different in a text field. (Look up the ADIF spec for RST.) It is beyond ironic that you bring up just typing in ...

"So I think our way is best" - believe me Terry, we are all certainly clear on that point. :D :D Since there seems to be the misconception that RST and the Alpha suffix - look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-S-T_system. The other thread, which you locked, listed issues with dropdown ...
