Bill,
What may be the problem is not what WSJT-X logs, but what is being sent
via the UDP connection to JT-Alert? I don't believe that JT-Alert
actually reads the log that WSJT-X creates.
In which case it may be a simple change to the UDP payload sent out, and
something that JT-Alert will need be able to read and populate the
fields accordingly.
Again, not quite sure of the mechanism.

Good morning Mike,
The point is in NA VHF Contest mode there is no signal strength
exchanged because the gridsquares are substituted. I will concur
there are fields for the gridsquare however they are the (usually)six
character gridsquares being filled from what is entered by the user at
setup in the case of mygridsquare and what comes from calls3.txt if I
do a lookup or off the air if I do not in the case of the worked
stations gridsquare. As these are usually not what went over the air
they cannot be considered reports. Therefore the four character
gridsquares exchanged over the air ARE the reports. And it is a
requirement of most V/U contests that the grid received be logged.
That is currently not neccesiarily happening without user intervention.
The following WSJTx log entry was from a contact I had the other day
using contest mode. I logged it twice to show the point. In this
case I did do a lookup so the gridquare from K0TPP is from calls3.txt
not from off the air.
Here is what WSJTx currently logs. The reports, sent and received
never went over the air. Nor did either gridsqare.
<call:5>K0TPP <gridsquare:6>EM48rj <mode:6>MSK144 <rst_sent:3>+05
<rst_rcvd:3>+05 <qso_date:8>20171114 <time_on:6>110236
<qso_date_off:8>20171114 <time_off:6>110236 <band:2>2m
<freq:10>144.151500 <station_callsign:4>ND0B <my_gridsquare:6>EN07gn <eor>
This is what I beleive should get logged. In this case I manually
entered the gridsquares that were exchanged on the air before logging.
<call:5>K0TPP <gridsquare:6>EM48rj <mode:6>MSK144 <rst_sent:4>EN07
<rst_rcvd:4>EM48 <qso_date:8>20171114 <time_on:6>105930

Is there someplace that says grids are supposed go into RST_RCVD and
RST_SENT?
Don't the grids go into GRIDSQUARE and MY_GRIDSQUARE already?

Good morning and thank you to the development team,
It is starting to be common practice to use NA VHF Contest Mode for
MSK operation on 2m and above. As a consequence those of us who use
JT Alert to automatically log have noticed that the Log QSO feature of
WSJTx is reporting signal strengths in the Rpt Sent and Rpt Rcvd field
which JT Alert duly puts into the log and I would assume (never
looked) that WSJTx is putting into its own log. In order to log what
was actually exchanged, the four character grids, they need to be
manually entered into these fields. It would seem that WSJTx, when
in NA VHF Contest mode should be putting what is actually exchanged
for reports, namely the four character grids. Just a thought.
Thanks!
