If you press the tab key, you can type 59A or 59S in the sent exchange field (except for CW mode).<div><br></div><div>I don't see any way to enter these values in the received exchange field, but I don't even know how to find the rules for this contest so I'm not sure what a typical received exchange might be, or if there is room to fit an extra letter and fix the Cabrillo file afterwards with Notepad.</div>

Hello all,<br>
<br>
I am trying the Win-test for European V-U-SHF contests.<br>
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.<br>
<br>
How to do it? Is there anybody who knows it?<br>
<br>
TNX and 73! Karel OK2ZI<br>

This is the part from the IARU Region I. VHF managers handbook<br>

TONE REPORTS<br>
In order to give an indication of distorted tonal quality due to special propagation modes, the 1-9 scale of<br>
the Tonality (T) component of the RST reporting system will be extended with the following:<br>
<br>
"a" For signals distorted by auroral propagation<br>
"s" For signals distorted by scatter propagation mechanisms<br>
"m" for signals distorted by multipath propagation.<br>
<br>
For example:-<br>
599 - Good signal<br>
58a - Fairly good Signal via Aurora<br>
59s - Good signal via Scatter (e.g. Rainscatter)<br>
<br>
Footnotes<br>
1. Other letters may be defined in future should the need arise<br>
2. This alternative system may be used for any mode e.g. CW, SSB, MGM etc<br>
