Field AGE in log area

Post by on6at »

Hi,

In my log structure the field AGE is present.
Can someone tell me where I can enter an operator's age?
When I make a QSO, I don't see this field "AGE" in the F function keys.
But also not if I want to edit this QSO afterwards via "edit".
Yet this field is mentioned in the log structure.

The age field is available as shown below, just add it to the field layout in the grid, see user guide

This is the first time in ten years that we have been asked to provide an input field for age, does anyone else need this?

Hallo Terry,

Thank you for your replay.

Indeed you can indicate Age as you describe it.

But my point is that you can't fill this in anywhere. No input field at all.
I don't know if many OM's use this, but sometimes, in a normal QSO you can receive this information. You'll see this more in CW than in SSB, I think.
It's just a question and I will of course accept the majority, if this is not foreseen.

For example, there is also no input field provided during the QSO to fill in the RX tranceiver of your RX station. You can get your RX power from the RX station. (F4 RX pwr) Or does that have another meaning?
