[UK-CONTEST] RSGB LOG INPUT

[Clive GM3POI]

Andy,
     The problem with that is the Station you work signing 
/QRP will probably not put that in his entry, and therefore 
you get a busted call. My guess is it's best to log as sent 
in terms of xx/KL7 rather than change it to KL7/xx. This 
certainly matters when it comes to LoTW as the ARRL software 
can't work out that it could be the other way around. I have 
had to re send Qs to get confirmation for DXCCs that the 
other station had the opposite way around from me for 
whatever season. 73 Clive GM3POI
