Yes, I agree. I like to keep track of the mode for many reasons,
especially when I transfer the CT results into my main logging program.
I wish we could talk Ken into adding a "D column" for Digital QSO's
with the wide spread use of modes like WSJT, PSK31, etc. (Maybe "E"
for EME contacts. What say, Frank NC1I)
Maybe all of the VHF users should ask him to do so. After all Ken
just added all of the bands between 10G and LIGHT to CT.
