Joe et al,
Some further observations:
- On further review, I had entered '59 NJ' in my exchange for RTTY RU and I
will need to wait until tomorrow's RTTY RU test for my correcting it to just
'NJ' to see how this affects my last two bullets in the original post. Note: It
might be good to do some basic check on the exchange for each contest and alert
the user to potential corrective action.
- After finishing the contest mode and switching everything back to what I
thought was normal FT8 operation (contest None, uncheck both 77-bit only
boxes), Tx 1 was greyed out and all of my subsequent QSOs skipped Tx 1 and
proceeded with Tx 2 when I tried to answer a CQ call. This is abnormal behavior
from my understanding, although I've seen it numerous times on the bands by
some users.

Joe et al,
I was running some RTTY RU contest tests tonight with some friends and noticed
the following:
- A friend was trying to answer CQ and people calling his CQ without any
exchange entered in the correct text box and all transmits were <.......> form.
It would probably be advisable to notify anyone operating contest mode without
an exchange (and if possible an invalid exchange) to get some type of warning.
- I looked after a few contest QSOs and noticed that the Cabrillo file had
the 5x9 received report, but had 59 for the sent report. It should be the 5x9
that I sent.
- The log QSO text box had no reports (5x9 sent/received) in it during the
contest and therefore they weren't transferred into my logging program nor the
ADI file. I did enter the 5x9 for both reports for one of the QSOs and it was
sent along both chains (ADI and logging program via JT-AlertX).
