When I import a contest ADIF file I wind up losing the contest strings.

Here is an example of a AIDF I just imported.

<call:5>N1BAA<qso_date:8>20090131<time_on:6>200600<freq:8>14.08000<band:3>20m<band:3>20m<mode:6>PSK125<rst_rcvd:3>599<rst_sent:3>599<
srx_string:3>268<stx_string:1>2<qsl_via:4>LoTW<qsl_rcvd:1>N<qsl_sent:1>Y<eor>

I wonder if it would be possible to add the "stx_string" and "srx_string" data columns?

Actually, if they at least wound up in the "Note" column would be OK too.

The <stx_string> and <srx_string> tags are used for contest exchange information. In RUMlog are no fields provided to store these information. RUMlog is not useful in a contest. Why would you store contest control numbers in your logbook?

I guess the easy answer is because I want to!

As an example: Say I work someone a few months after the contest and we are chatting about the fact that we worked each other in the xxxxx Test, it might be nice to be able to recall his and my QSO numbers. Or, another example, if we worked in the Sweepstakes I would have his first year licensed in my log entry, more fodder for conversation.

Not a big deal.
