Hello,
I would like to understand how I am supposed to log EME contacts as I see no options to do that anywhere.
Thanks

EME is a Propagation mode according to the ADIF specification. Use a user field and set it to <prop_mode>

I hope in future versions propagation modes will be a bit easier to deal with
Thanks for your help

Your suggestions?

I can't see a way to make it easier.

There could be an option to activate an extra column with a selection entry pre-populated with these entries:
https://adif.org/314/ADIF_314.htm#Propa ... numeration

If you activate that, you could select your prop_mode in plain english without touching user settings. Then the program would export ADIF with the appropriate prop_mode tag (EME, ES, ECH AUR etc.) in it.

These modes are rare when considered individually but their cross section might be relevant enough to justify a change, IMHO.

This is what the user fields are doing!

Sorry I haven't noticed the selection, I though user fields needed to be written manually...
In that case, however, I would have preferred having the description in the selection (rather than the value) but thats a minor detail at this point. Thanks!
