OCEANIA IOTA ISSUE

When I put in the log a qso with an IOTA reference located in oceania I can only write the the two letters of continent so OC- but not the number reference. All others continents (NA-, EU-, etc) work fine but not with oceania, any suggestion?
I have recently update RUMlogNG from build 44 to 46.

I'm glad to help you.
I have some suggestions, if I can...
In the window where are displayed all the information about the country(prefix,country, antenna direction) should be helpful have also the long path direction and not only the short path.
I work on VHF and is helpful have a "propagation mode" field that can be printed also un QSL. For whom work EME or Sporadic E, Tropo etc.
I can use the existing field "qso note" but I can't print it on qsl for each qso (in case of multi qso) or at the bottom of the label.

The prop mode is an interesting idea. I will check.
I guess the long path direction will not ne required in the most cases, it is a very simple addition or subtraction. You have the pointer as well, for a visual information.

About "prop mode" the easy way for you is change the "SATELLITE" drop menu in "QSO VIA" or similar and add ES, TROPO, MS AURORA or a custom mode etc.... but the best way is add a new fied but in any case it shoud be printable on paper qsl row. Check it.
