[WT-support] R: Re: Mode code on .EDI VHF logs

Thu Aug 13 10:24:40 CEST 2015

Hi Bob and Gunar  

yes I like WT too,  both for HF and VHF contests . and I believe lot of EU VHF contesters are using WT (not only me and Gunar..HI). 
Mainly the mode code for VHF is 1=ssb 2=cw and 6=FM so probably the patch is very easy .

But don't worry  if it is so difficult to set the mode code on the .edi file I 'll  continue to set it manually.  

Thank you so much .

Task #356 was opened Dec. 8th, 2014.  Bug is still there in WT 4.17.  I can resend the test files to Laurent if he still needs them.

Thanks Gunar; I have forwarded your files to F6FVY.  He is the only 
one who can fix the code at this point.

  Hello Bob!

  Thanks for your instant answer and your 
  kindness!

  Lot of IARU R1 VHF contests are mixed mode 
  contests
and most log checking programs mandatory require "mode 
  field"
(between CALL and SENT RPRT) to be filled.

  WinTest formats ADIF file without any problems and 
  errors!
I attatched from the same contest my WTB file, ADIF 
  file 
  and 2 versions of my short EDI file:
1-generated by 
  WinTest (wrong)
2-corrected by hand (right)

  Mode of QSO is coded according IARU R1 VHF Handbook 

http://www.iaru-r1.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1201:vhf-manager-handbook-edition-612&catid=42:vhf&Itemid=100
(page 
  76 in VHF Handbook V6 12.pdf)
Codes of mode for most important cases - two 
  way:
SSB = 1
CW = 2
FM = 6
Not specified = 0 (used for DIGI 
  modes usually)

  But anyway - I LIKE WinTest !!!

    v.4.xx VHF EDI file format

    I found this in the Release Notes:
    4.1.0 (Aug 6, 2009)
    Bugfix: In REG1TEST exports (European Standard File for V/UHF 
    Contests), QSO logged in mode different than CW or SSB was not well 
    formatted. Tks DL5NAH.
    Does this sound like the fix you  wanted?
    If you send me a .WTB file, I can try to import it into WT4 and 
    generate an .EDI file.

  [WT-support] Mode code on .EDI VHF logs

  Hi all
we are using WT for VHF contests logging (ver 
  4.17) . 
In the .edi  REG1TEST exports the QSO mode code (ex. 1=SSB, 
  2=CW) is not formatted. 
There is always a blank. 
This is a problem for 
  many check log programs e we need to fill this info manually. 

Is it 
  possible to fix the problem in next versions of WT?.

  Claudio I4VEQ

Here is a short table of the .edi REG1TEST  file 
  requirments:
   All fields in the QSO record is written on the same line, and ending with ASCII characters 13 and 10 (CR LF). 

Field Maximum length 
Date = YYMMDD, 6 characters 6 
Time = UTC, 4 characters, with leading zeros 4 
Call = 3 to 14 characters 14 
Mode code = 0 or 1 character 1 
Sent-RST = 0 or 2 or 3 characters 3 
Sent QSO number = 0 or 3 or 4 characters, with leading zeros 4 
Received-RST = 0 or 2 or 3 characters 3 
Received QSO number = 0 or 3 or 4 characters, with leading zeros 4 
Received Exchange = 0 or 1 to 6 characters (see also PExch) 6 
Received WWL = 0 or 4 or 6 characters, World Wide Locator 6 
QSO points = 1 to 6 characters, including bandmultiplier 6 
New-Exchange = 0 or 1 character, "N" if QSO is a new exchange 1 
New-WWL = 0 or 1 character, "N" if QSO is a new WWL 1 
New-DXCC = 0 or 1 character, "N" if QSO is a new DXCCL 1 
Duplicate-QSO = 0 or 1 character, "D" if contact is a duplicate QSO 1 

Mode code 
The mode code is used to show which modes were used for the QSO. Below is a list of the code with corresponding modes. 

Mode code TX mode RX mode 
0 non of below non of below 
1 SSB SSB 
2 CW CW 
3 SSB CW 
4 CW SSB 
5 AM AM 
6 FM FM 
7 RTTY RTTY 
8 SSTV SSTV 
9 ATV ATV 

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

Example:
WRONG (WT 4.17)
150804;1703;IZ5HQB;;59;001;59;000;;JN53NS;80;;N;N; 
CORRECT150804;1703;IZ5HQB;1;59;001;59;000;;JN53NS;80;;N;N;
