I'm trying to do some data mining.
And I find that I need yet another Column field.
I need a 'CONTEST' field.
I'm trying to find a pattern of 'who' operates which contest, and which 
bands and how easy it is to log that muliplier. and of course, DO THEY QSL?
Presently, when I import contest .adi logs into my logbook, I use a 
convention for naming contests.
But that puts that 'contest name' into the Notes field, making that field 
useless for other data.
My convention is normally:
year, official contest name, mode;
07 CQ 160 Meter Contest SSB
07 Missippi QSO Party
etc.
I don't need the names of the contest in a drop down menu, far too many for 
that.
I'm probably the only person who wants this field.
I don't need a 4 digit year...doubt I'll be doing much contesting in 2107. 
<lol>
