If you would like proof, I can furnish it. Furthermore the latest ADIF specifications state that the RST fields are strings, and eQSL limits that string to 8 characters. I cannot find any restriction on LoTW's handling of RST fields.
Tnx for your input and Terry has also provided you with an update to your questions.
I just wanted to share regarding RST and LOTW ... The TQSL routine that we all use to upload/download Q's to LOTW does NOT pass RST one way or another. It is ignored and thus not stored within the LOTW d/b that we all use for the related awards associated with ARRL/LOTW and many more. So from the LOTW / TQSL standpoint the RST values are a moot point.
I like the RST simply for my personal logging and have done so since 1970.
That being said, I've also modified my rst.xml file to better suit my needs/desires. Pls review Lele's post above where he mentions how each of us can use the Log4OM V2 Resource Editor to edit the rst.xml file as we desire.
The edited file is then named rst_user.xml and will take precedence over the rst.xml file. You can edit as needed and/or delete if desired and Log4OM V2 will then again use the default file.
All is very flexible this way. A very helpful approach so each OM can set things up in a customized way.
You can reach the Resource Editor at: Settings / Resource Editor The program resources you can edit are in the left panel and the edited resources are in the right panel.
Take a look and I think you will be pleased with all those options.
