Press Enter to save the QSO.
Call:
Enter the call worked. Maximum: 10 characters. Enter
either upper or lower case. The SideKar will convert it to upper
case. This is a required field.
Exch:
Enter the exchange. Maximum 10 characters. Any
characters can be entered, so this can be used for regular
QSOs (“599”) or contest exchanges (“2A CO”, “Steve NY”).
This is not a required field.
If you use the QRPworks ADIF Utility v1.9 or later, a new
feature is available.
In ADIF Utility v1.7 and previous, the Exchange field is always
interpreted as RST_RCVD in the ADIF file.
With ADIF Utility v1.9, you have the opportunity to populate the
RST RCVD and RST SENT fields.
In version 1.9 of the Utility,
RST RCVD is now added as an ADIF field. The format
of the 10 character
Exch
field in the QRPworks log is
now Rcvd / Sent
If a / character is found, the characters to the left of the /
is the RECEIVED and the characters after the / is the
SENT
If no / character is found, the Exchange is RST_RCVD.
As shown in the table of examples, the Exchange does
not have to be a traditional
“599” signal report.
