[WT-support] WT and VHF and UP contests

[Karel Odehnal]

Hello all,

I am trying the Win-test for European V-U-SHF contests.
I have problem with logging a report like 59S or 59A . Those reports are 
used during Rainscatter or Aurora propagations and must be logged correctly.

How to do it? Is there anybody who knows it?

8.8.7 IARU Region 1 Technical Recommendation TONE REPORTS
Vienna 2010

TONE REPORTS
In order to give an indication of distorted tonal quality due to special 
propagation modes, the 1-9 scale of
the Tonality (T) component of the RST reporting system will be extended 
with the following:

"a" For signals distorted by auroral propagation
"s" For signals distorted by scatter propagation mechanisms
"m" for signals distorted by multipath propagation.

For example:-
599 - Good signal
58a - Fairly good Signal via Aurora
59s - Good signal via Scatter (e.g. Rainscatter)

Footnotes
1. Other letters may be defined in future should the need arise
2. This alternative system may be used for any mode e.g. CW, SSB, MGM etc
