Log4OM V2 - Ver 2.8.0.0

Nice to see dates fixed on contests screen and manual updated for how to add new ones - thank you.

The 4m RSGB contest just passed needed to record part of UK postcode - I can't find where to enter it.
The basic grid / serial number is all OK and appears in correct fields.

The report formats is similar to: 55 001 IO85MU
Where EH is the main 2 characters of Postcode

How can I 'enable' a comment box to record additional info required without having to log it thn go back in and edit the QSO - seems it defeats the whole idea of a dedicated Contest Screen.

Thanks

Add your string to the suffix field in the contest set up and the other stations in the field as shown below, result will be as in the saved QSO in the screen shot

Thanks for that

Will give it a try out as need to see what ADIF fields it splits the received details into - I assume it will be SRX and a.n.other - looking at the screen shot there is no sepatator needed - one less character to type :-)
