By default, the transmit RST is not in the Entry Window but it can be added if you really want to add it.

1. Go to the Contest menu and select "Exchange Format Setup...".
2. When asked if you want to initialize all fields, click NO.
3. When the Edit QSO Exchange Fields windows appears, click on SNT in the left hand column so it is highlighted.
4. Click the box "Prompt. Include in QSO Entry Prompt." so it has a check mark in the box.
5. Click Save at the bottom of the window, then click OK next to Save.

The Entry Window now includes the SNT field which is your transmit RST.

In modern contesting, the signal report serves no purpose other than to fill the exchange.  I don't believe anyone but maybe a rare
few really cares what their signal report is other than the fact they are being heard.  I would suggest sending 599 to everyone and
not including SNT in the Entry Window.

If I'm reading your message right you are concerned that you don't have a 
field for RST on tx.   If you look in the Call Entry window you will see the 
RST field already filled in with 59.  That is your default signal report. 
The RCVD field is where you enter the RST from the other station.  Again, most likely a 59 in contest exchanges.  In the Log window
there is a field called SNT.  That is the RST report you sent - from the RST field in the Call Entry window.  Right next to it is a
field called RST which is the info you entered in the RCVD field of the Call Entry window.  Clear as mud ain't it?
