Since the ‘standard’ contest rst is 59 no matter what, would it make sense to have the displayed field order as ‘call sign’, ‘exchange’, ‘frequency’ so we wouldn’t need to hit tab 3 times? A station running a frequency may not change frequency but hunt and pounce operations need access to the freq field more often than rst. I don’t know the last time I had a contest report thatwas not 59, even when it took 4 tries to get a callsign correct lol. While it is a short time saving, it simplifies things and could result in time for a few more qsos across the contest. It wouldn’t require a db change, just the field order on the interface
It would depend on the contest, some contests such as QSO parties that have a RST are a real RST as well as other contests that are also POTA’s. For any DX contests, yes i’m happy to remove the RST field and change the order of the fields.
I don’t know if I would remove rst, but just rearranging the order would be great. That way the option is still there when needed. The exchange, and to a lesser extent frequency are probably the most changed fields. If RST is after them, the option is there, but likely needs lesser access.
Thanks!
@KC3ZXR Yeah for sure. Just went in and updated for all the contests that are on the site. I’ll see how the flow is with it like that and if i need to adjust it going forward we can. If you already are enrolled in a contest (and the contest logbook is created in your account) you may need to do a hard refresh (hold shift on your keyboard and click the refresh button in your browser) to pull the latest.
