Simple Contest Window Question

First of all thanks to all involved for included this very useful feature. I've been playing with it to see how it works. For me it's common in some the VHF contests I participate in to have to enter the 6 digit locator and another piece of information as part of the contest exchange e.g. a membership number e.g "IO91wt 9999". It would be nice for CQRLog to be able to allow additional digits to be stored as a QSO message when the Message is a locator checkbox is set so that the stations QRA locator is stored in the correct field when a QSO is logged. Not sure how difficult this would be but would be nice as a future feature feature. Keep up the good work guys.

Contest msg

Hi!
That would requre an extra field more. Sorry, but this is just simple window. Mainly for handling serial numbers and mask for every contest can not be done with K.I.S.S method.
If your contest does not have serial number, just locator and membership number, you could use nr field for membership numbers and check 'msg is loc'.
When doing adif2cabrillo conversion you can fix order to what ever requred.

At you tx macros you have to make fix so that you send "rst locator mbrNr" in right order. Do not populate your contest window's nr_s at all. Instead write it to macro as a word to make %rs(substitute) give just only rst.
