You're asking for features to be added to WSJT-X that are in Windows software. An operating system is a tool, not a religion.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Feature request: Contest name
HI Larry! I am a Linux user. I worked last 15 years with Windoze servers and clients versions up to W7. When retired I do not have any need to touch them any more. Linux has Wine, but I do not have any need to run Windoze programs via it. Cqrlog has it all. And what it does not have I can program to it. Now it is just a question that if user could define a contest name at WSJT-X end and that would be transferred via UDP datagram to external logging program there would be no need to fix those entries in log later on. Now the UDP datagram sends those default, fixed, contest names that are in "settings/Advanced/Special operating activity". Of course I could fix this at Cqrlog's side with few lines of code, but I prefer that the origin of qso data (I.E. WSJT-X) should offer this as user defined option. It already has fields like "operator" and "Propagation mode" , so why not "contest name" ? (This will be my last reply of this subject for this list. PM to continue discussion) -- Saku OH1KH Larry Banks via wsjt-devel kirjoitti 14.10.2022 klo 16.23: Hi Saku, It is much easier to use a proper contest logging program. There are many out there.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Feature request: Contest name
You might want to take a look at the WSJT-X_IMPROVED version by DG2YCB - you can label the contest names however you want. GL and VY 73, Lance On 10/14/2022 08:29:59, Saku via wsjt-devel wrote: Hi!

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.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Feature request: Contest name
There is a CONTEST_ID ADIF field. But NAC-6M is not one of the enumerations. Does is need to be added or is there another name for it?https://adif.org/313/ADIF_313.htm#Contest_ID As for date doesn't the QSO date do the job?
