User-defined Fields
Posted: Sat 28. Jul 2018, 22:04
I have only been using RUMlogNG for a few weeks do far. I am quite impressed by its capabilities. I have learned a lot by reading through the manual. I am not sure that I have a good understanding of what I can or maybe I should say what I should use the User-defined fields for.
I am recently back into Ham Radio after a long absence. I have a few paper log books from years past and I am entering these old logs into RUMlogNG.
I have been using UDF #1 for recording TEN_TEN numbers. I've labeled UDF #2 as Exchange and used this to record contest exchanges. Since I have worked a few ARRL Sweepstakes contests, I am using UDF #3 for ARRL_SECT. I don't see anything in the documentation to explain Mapping.
If set the name of UDF1 to TEN_TEN, does this mean that an ADIF export will include the value in box UDF #1 with the ADIF tag TEN_TEN? Then also use ARRL_SECT with the value in UDF #3? Exchange is not a recognized ADIF tag, but until I work some new contest with RUMlogNG, it us a useful way for me to record old log entries from my paper log books into this new computer log.
I've seen other forum posts about ARRL Sections, but I don't see any way to validate my abbreviations. I was looking for something like US Counties where there is a known list to pick from. ButI expect that would require an enhancement to the RUMlogNG program and not just something I can add as a user.
