Re: Preparations for TLF-1.4.0 release

[Thomas Beierlein]

Hi Slav,

ok, it seems you found the real way how it works.

After reading the ADIF spec I see one problem here. The contest name
itself is defined as an enumeration of predefined contest IDs (see
https://adif.org/310/ADIF_310.htm#Contest_ID for reference).
So we can not just use our own contest name from logcfg.dat for itbut
have to use one of the predefined. That will result in an non standard
ADIF format. 

I see two ways to work around the problem:

a) Just ask the operator for the contest name to use and insert it into
each qso record. Leave it out if the operator does not enter a name.

or

b) just leave the file format as it is. Post process the ADIF-file with
a tool like 'adifmerg' from oh7bf to insert the contest_id into the ADIF
records if needed. E.g. a command like 
'adifmerg -f qso.adi -A CONTEST_ID=ContestName -o > file.adi'
should do.

If not needed regularly I would like to stay with the second version.
What do others think about it?

73, de Tom
