Can the Prop field be opened?

Can the Prop field be opened up to be used all the time? I would like to use the Prop field as an antenna field in HF.

Hi Eric

I guess I could make the prop field display optional for HF too, but there is very limited space, the field length is only about 5 characters I never envisaged it being used for anything other than for VHF propagation abbreviations. If this will be enough for you then I can do this.
Before you ask I can not modify the field length.

Hi Eric and Colin,

I think 5 characters should be enough for any antenna. Someboday has just to define some abbreviations, e.g. DIP, 5EL, DISH, VERT etc.

If you open the prop field I would additionally like to see that it could be read by the QSL print menue that is can be used to define print labels. In combination with the PWR field the station setup could be directly printed to the label.
