Hi Dave,

I did read it, it is not a straight forward as you suggest since the contest types supported by FT8/FT4/MSK144 are more generic than the ones enumerated by the ADIF specification. I am not ignoring your suggestion, I just don't see an easy solution without adding new configuration fields.

Note that WSJT-X has a facility to export a Cabrillo Entry file and exporting that prompts for the contest id already.

TBH the most valuable addition would be a way of exporting the contest log as an EDI entry file suitable for Region 1 VHF and up contests. Even there it is not straightforward as EDI format required separate entry files per band in multi-band contests.

This is my third attempt to ask this question -- the last attempt was almost two weeks ago.

Can you please read and respond?

        I noticed that WSJT-X informed me to "switch to the RTTY RU"
        mode in the Advanced settings when it detected "RU" in the CQ
        message when I was monitoring the frequencies the FT Roundup
        contest is using this weekend.

        I, like many others, don't bother to switch out the
        wsjtx_log.adi file when contesting, so all QSO's are logged to
        the same file. However, the only differentiator I have to
        detect different log entries between regular QSOs and Contest
        QSOs is the addition of the <state:xx> field and the serial
        number in the RST field. However, this may easily be confused
        with the Field Day or other entries.

        I looked up the ADIF 3.1.1 log format and saw there is a
        Contest-ID field provided. Would it be feasible to enhance
        WSJT-X to add this field in for the Field Day, FT8 Roundup,
        NA/EU VHF, WW Digi, etc. contests when those modes are
        selected in the WSJT-X Advanced Preferences?

        If you want a contributor to do this, I'm willing to write the
        code. This shouldn't be too much effort...

        Please advise and 73,
