[UK-CONTEST] RSGB 1.8 MHz CW Contest Exhange: logging problem

[Rolf Salme, SM5MX]

Good morning,

Some years ago, I have enjoyed taking part in the RSGB 1.8MHz CW Contest, and I had planned to give it another try yesterday evening. 

However, my log program TR4W could not accomodate the present contest exchange which was sent by the UK stations, i.e. RST+serial number & district code; I got the error message, "Improper domestic QTH". I did try some reprogramming of the setttings, alas to no avail.

As this is obviously a shortcoming of my logging software (or myself), I should like to inform the people behind TR4W about when the UK exchange message was changed from the previous format "RST+district code" to its present "RST + serial number&district code". Was it long ago?

I will not send in any contest log this time, since I felt unenthusiastic about returning to logging on paper.

73,
