RST and propagation mode

Post by sm7sjr »

Hello

Any chance of turning off default rst? For instance when I work an aurora QSO and I enter 59A... and then edit QSO, log4om resets it to 599 ?!?
When I work one aurora qso I usually work 20 more... why not making the RST from the previous QSO stick to the next QSO?

If I work one aurora qso I usually work 20 more... When I set prop mode to Aurora why not leave it there for the next qso?

RST is a numeric string and is expressed in numbers not letters so why are you entering a propagation mode in the 'Tone' element of an RST report?

This is possible and logical

When doing EME we have always used O as signal reports. When doing Aurora there is always an A in the RST.

Hi Bjoern,

is this specified in the ADIF specifications ? If yes Lele will be find
out what to do if not it´s the same problem for the user when calls
are entered with /LH or/LGT. In that case the country switches to
Norway so /LH /LGT are not preferred in the ITU and ADIF rules as
Lighthouse or Lightship.

Lele can do something but not every thing ;) ;)
