Logging mixed contact

Post by Pa0ply »

Hi,

On EME we have often mixed contacts, i.e. SSB and CW.
For logging one cannot choose a different mode for RX and TX, so how to fill in those different reports?

Good question!

There is no provission for this in the ADIF specification but I will speak to our other ADIF developers about it!

Its not something we have been asked for previously, however in my country its the TX mode that needs to be logged so I suppose that recording the TX mode as normal but note the RX mode in comments would suffice unless there is a satelite mode for this?

Others may have more ideas but I have never experienced this so not really much help to you

Hi Terry,

I guess I can modify the RX and TX reports, so they appear like 5x9 and 5x in both modes?

You probably need to space bar once after the 5X to stop defaulting to 5nn

Terry,

I modified the RST reports for SSB and CW succesfully.
I also added OOO and MMM, which reports are also used in EME.
