Is there an easy way to allow entering numbers in the NAME field?
I tried a few things in the Exchange Format Setup but didn't
succeed. I even tried changing NAME to GRID, which accepts numbers
but only after two starting letters...
Reason to ask is, this week the Thursday night NCCC Sprint had a
variation in the exchnage to "use a previous Field Day call you
have operated from" as your NAME. The Writelog NA Sprint contest
doesn't allow entering any numbers in the NAME field. I recall this
issue also occurred in a NAQP contest where someone used the name R2D2.
Yes, there are workarounds, but maybe someone has an easy change
to a standard log.

Workarounds:
1. type RTWODTW0
2. type name NOT, log the QSO, then in the log window edit the name to
the proper one - numbers are allowed while editing.
