[WT-support] UKEICC DX Contest?

I know this will have been asked before, and I can imagine the work involved
is onerous, but is there any possibility that the UKEICC DX Contest can be
catered for by WinTest? I see that the contest has been integrated in N1MM
and some other contest loggers. Personally I would rather not enter than not
use WinTest. The learning curve and the hassle are too much for me.

 

As a workaround I think it is possible to simply use WPX and enter received
UK Postcodes along with the received serial number. For example, if I work
G4ABC and receive "599001 BA" I would log 001BA as the received serial. I
would not be able to score my log, but it would be easy to edit the
resulting Cabrillo file using TextPad, to insert a space into the line of
text. The WPX option seems to allow SSB and CW in the same log.

 

But I don't want to have to do that! I'd much rather use WinTest with a
dedicated configuration. The contest is actually quite a big deal, as it's
the first world-wide contest with UK multipliers in which DX can also work
DX.
