Rovers using callsign/R are logging as Russia #54

Post by n5tm »

If working a "rover" station in a VHF contest you log the callsign/R the software is logging the station as being in Russian, not the US. Is there a work around?

There is no such suffix as /R its the same as /QRP not a legal suffix so it's interpreted as a country identified and R = Russia

Check your licence conditions you won't find /R

The same questions always coming up on a lighthouse weekend. Some stations using /LH which will interpreted
as Norway from each logger which uses ADIF standards. Real extensions are only /P, /M, /MM and /AM. If i work
stations with extensions like /LH, /QRP, or some other´s i don´t log it. I only log the call without it and all is
fine.

That´s the only "workaround" for this ;) ;)
