Hi Saku,

There are logging programs that keep track of contests. I log contests with N1MM+ (Freeware), export the log to DXKeeper (FREEware), choose from a dropdown menu in the DXKeeper Import screen what contest it's from and choose the log file. That's all it takes! And when you're ready to upload to LOTW, eQSL, or ClubLog, DXKeeper does that with a button-push once you've set yourself up those logging sites.

I suspect that other logging programs also do some or all of this; I have more than 300,000 QSOs in DXKeeper since getting back on the air in 2003.

Hi!

Sorry if this feature exist. I did not find a mention about it from user guide.

There are now several contests that use WSJT-X contest modes. It would be nice to have user defined contest name to logging window. That way name logged (also via UDP message) could be set by contest. And maybe also add a date to name if several contests are kept in same external log making them easier to find by the name of contest.

Just worked contest "NAC-6m_10/2022" that uses EU VHF mode. So my external log has now contest name "NAC-6m_10/2022" with all CW and SSB qsos, but "EU VHF" with FT8 qsos that have to be changed manually afterwards.

Good place for contest name would be either:

Make "operator" column smaller and set "contest name" after that on right side.

or

Below "propagation mode".

In both cases "retain" checbox is needed too.


Thanks!
