Default values when entering contest QSOs from a paper log


Steve, N5EP
 

Without computer access when operating portable on Field Day, I recorded my QSOs on paper, and now I'm going to enter them in DXKeeper with the "Optimize for real-time QSO entry" option NOT checked.

Is there a way to have it automatically fill in default values on the Log QSOs tab in the Contest Items group for Contest_ID and STX_String?  I tried entering those values on the Contest Configuration tab, but that only seems to work when in Contest mode, which I don't want since that also puts you into real-time entry mode.

If it can't be done, a work-around would be to skip manually entering these items and later do a mass-update using the "Advanced Sorts, Filters, and Modifiers" panel.

Thanks.
