[ct-user] CT9.84 CRTL F1/F2, MODE SELECT problem for VHF SS TST

[R Johnson]

Yes, I agree.  I like to keep track of the mode for many reasons,
especially when I transfer the CT results into my main logging program.

I wish we could talk Ken into adding a "D column" for Digital QSO's
with the wide spread use of modes like WSJT, PSK31, etc. (Maybe "E"
for EME contacts. What say, Frank NC1I)

Maybe all of the VHF users should ask him to do so.  After all Ken
just added all of the bands between 10G and LIGHT to CT.

>It is not required by the rules but to be accurate I would like to know what type of Q it is.  My reasons include, knowing what the distribution of FM vs. SSB vs. CW Q's in the contest.  I think someone also pointed this out.  It's nice to know that the extra effort to put up that FM antenna yields you some points.  Or to make sure you check some of the lower frequencies for CW.  Or to know that you could only complete the Q on CW as the path margin didn't allow SSB.  Another reason is for accurate log keeping and QSL'ing.  I would like to know the mode so that when I send a card, it can reflect the proper mode.  The FCC doesn't require you to log anymore, but I still log just about everything, especially transferring my contest logs to my station log.  That requires emission type.
