Bob and Laurent, these are excellent solutions for this temporary problem. Thank you for taking the time.

Thanks Laurent.  Since this rule change may only apply this year, it's probably not worth making it a permanent change.

 

ARRL Field Day isn't a "real contest" -- there is no log checking per se.  You just upload a summary sheet and a list of calls worked on every band (they will also accept Cabrillo).

 

See https://field-day.arrl.org/fdentry.php

 

However, you can certainly use the dev version to recalculate your score, or perhaps you can temporarily change your entry class from 1D to 1E, recalculate the score with the current Win-Test, then change it back.  Win-Test prompts you for the category every time you reload the log.  If it loads automatically without prompting, just type REOPEN [Enter] in the logging window, then click OK, then you'll get the pop-up prompt for entry class.  But I haven't tried it.




73,

Bob, N6TV

I just released a dev version including this exceptional rule.

If you never used a dev version before, please read

Anyhow, even if the 1D Q aren't currently credited with the current 
version, there are chances they will be credited by the contest robot 
after submitting your log to the ARRL.
