			The exchange can be described by its type, like

			RST_CQzone
			RST_serial
			RST_serial/membership.number
			etc.

			The meaning of the fields is MOSTLY one from these, however a detailed list of possible field meanings is to be prepared, if needed.

			Some contesting software has the exchange tightly bound to the contest (contest type), which is 'hardwired' in the program. It seems that such approach is rather unlucky, better is to have high level of 'freedom' in contest rules creation, however the program must be able to save the rules as an template.

			A typical contest exchange may look like this:

			RS(T)_field1_field2_field3_field4

			where the field1 ... field4 has different meaning and syntax. The number of fields may vary, the above 4 fields is mostly sufficient for all contests (with an exception of some North American QSO Parties which can have rather strange exchange types, also without RST).

	There are several types of exchange, depending on the contest types. Some are very straightforward (ie. CQWW), some ridiculous with more different exchange types in a single event. The exchage consists mostly of RST + exchange type (or RS + exchange type on phone modes), however some contests omitting the RST. Anyway, RST should be included by default with posiibility to exclude it.		There are several types of exchange, depending on the contest types. Some are very straightforward (ie.

Anyway, RST should be included by default with posiibility to exclude it.

			The exchange mostly contain a space (ie. 599 15 or in shortened form 5NN A5, ENN A5 or ENN AE), however this space must not be well pronounced in CW contests. In phone contests is the exchange style nearly the same as on VHF. Anyway, lets assume that the software can separate the RS(T) from the rest of exchange.

			There are also contests where the exchange DOES NOT contain any RST.
