Hi Andrzej,

According to the REG1TEST specifications, this is not a bug but a 
feature :) because this information is not necessary for the IARU VHF 
contest:

"If the mode is not important it can be left blank, i.e. not stated in 
rules/invitation."

And later in the specs:

"If a contest log program can not fill in all the information, the 
missing information can be left blank, except if information is needed 
for claiming/calculating scores, e.g. log program cannot identify WWLs, 
DXCCs etc. If the information is required for the scores this log 
program can not be used for this particular contest anyway."
