Hello,

When exporting confirmed QSO:s from eQSL, there only seems to be one option 
supported by 
eQSL: to export the whole log/inbox as ADIF each time. That is, unlike LotW, 
there is AFAICT no 
option in eQSL to only download new QSLs, received after the most recent 
download.

Thus, when importing this to DX4WIN ("Confirm using ADIF") there will be 
re-imports of eQSL:s that 
have already been imported. This, as such, is no problem since DX4WIN handles 
“dupes” during 
import. However, if there is a conflict between the imported QSO and the QSO in 
the log (for example, 
the Grid-square values differ), then DX4WIN will add this in the "Notes for 
this QSO" field.
As far as I can tell, if I import the same QSO/eQSL again, then DX4WIN adds  
yet another note, with 
precisely the same content. I checked, and this does seem to be the case. For 
example, I have a 
QSO with a Finish OH-station with the following content in the QSO-notes field:

    "Import:{Grid=KP20af} Import:{Grid=KP20af} Import:{Grid=KP20af}",

apparently coming from eQSL imports confirming the same QSO three times. 

Arguably, this is a shortcoming of the eQSL export feature, but I am curious if 
there is a way to configure 
DX4WIN so that it does not add an new import note which is identical to one 
that already exists?
