[CQ-Contest] ARRL Contest logging question

[N1MM]

It is not stored as an integer, otherwise you could not enter K or KW.  
What is happening is that special characters (.,#$ etc.) are being 
filtered from that entry field.  Go to the log, right click on the 
contact and edit the power.  You can put 0.5 in there.
