Bunkers on the Air and Worked All Britain (WAB)

[Decani-cyber]

Any chance of adding Bunkers on the Air and Worked All Britain (WAB) to the awards section please?

Thanks and 73,

Bob.

Considering that there are countless such diplomas, it's not feasible to implement support for all types. I would prefer a more universal solution rather than a special solution for a specific diploma.

I’m not familiar with the exact rules of BOTA, but since the ADIF does not defined any field for this diploma, I assume that the Special Interest Group field is used. This field can practically contain any of the various diploma identifiers.

What’s your idea about "adding BOTA and WAB"?

Hi Ladislav, I will enter the Bunkers in the comments section when I have a QSO. I don't if you are familiar with Bunkers on the Air, it is popular in several EU countries and the activations take place from the sites of WW2 military bunkers. Usually, I have several contacts with bunker operators on most days. Bunkers are often at the same sites as POTA and WWFF. This is a link to the Bunkers webpage. https://wwbota.org/ In respect of WAB, I will also add that to the comments section. Many thanks, Bob. M0BOB.

I will enter the Bunkers in the comments section when I have a QSO.

This is exactly the kind of thing that is not suitable for implementation - using comment field. Unfortunately, the comment field is intended for a different purpose. For this goal, it seems that according to the WWBOTA rules, SIG and SIG INFO field should be used. Then we could consider some kind of "support". Unfortunately, you didn’t tell me what you actually imagine as added support. What does support mean to you?

Alright, honestly, if someone were to implement support for WWBOTA in QLog, I would probably accept this change. Personally, I’m currently working on other areas of QLog, so I’ll say that I don’t plan to implement support for WWBOTA or WAB in the near future. I’m not saying it’s a bad idea, just that there are more important things to address right now, and considering that only three people contribute to the development in their free time, I don’t think a solution will be available in the near future.

However, the situation could change, because practically anyone can contribute to this project. So someone might show up who implements it. Therefore, I wouldn’t lose hope.
