I participated in the mock RTTY Roundup contest yesterday. What fun.
I am now even more energized to use wsjtx for the upcoming Winter
Field Day. But alas, I won't be able to as the class letters are
different from the ARRL Field Day contest.
As was posted on the main wsjtx forum, the wsjtx ARRL Field Day
support validates the class ( [A-F] ) and section. Winter field day
uses different classes. However, the same section and qso cadence as
the ARRL Field Day is used. The classes are: I == Inside, O ==
Outside, H == Home. By way of example, my club's class and section
would be 3O GTA.
Here is a link to the WFD Rules: https://www.winterfieldday.com/rules
I know the wsjtx development team has a lot on their plate getting
ready for the upcoming GA. If at all possible, would you be able to
support winter field day (Jan 26-27, 2019) given how close it is to
the actual ARRL Field Day support already in wsjtx. WFD is actually
growing in popularity year-over-year.

Hi Brian,
the field day class is packed into 3 bits so only eight different
classes are supported. We cannot support three new class letters on top
of the existing six. It could be possible by agreement to use, say, 'A',
'B', and 'C' to represent 'I', 'O', and 'H' since Winter FD does not use
any of the normal FD classes.
