Re: [Dx4win] Import of ADIF "Comment" field - answered
Dave, Thanks. I was not aware of the option in WSJT to not put db reports into the comments field. One other thing to consider is that when you log a WSJT contact, you can type something into the WSJT "comments" part of the log entry. I think this field is more useful if applied to the QSO and not to the Callsign. The ADIF spec says it is about the QSO. I think DX4WIN should conform to the ADIF spec and change to import the comments field into QSO Notes in the DX4win log. 73, Paul K5ESW > Paul, > This used to bother me.

Re: [Dx4win] Import of ADIF "Comment" field - answered
I believe that option was put in WSJT-X to help people if their logging program could not handle FT8 mode and FT8 style signal reports. Use it if you do not have Version 9 of DX4Win. 73, John K9EL -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Jim Reisert AD1C Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2018 7:29 AM To: n...@vci.net Cc: DX4WIN Reflector Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Import of ADIF "Comment" field - answered On Mon, Jul 2, 2018 at 8:05 PM N4QS, Dave Perry wrote: > This used to bother me.

Re: [Dx4win] Import of ADIF "Comment" field - answered
Paul, This used to bother me. I solved the problem by unchecking the "db reports to comments" box under the Reporting tab in Settings within WSJT-X. By doing that, nothing is saved to the comments field in the ADIF file and thus nothing gets imported into the Call Sign Notes field in DX4WIN. 73, Dave, N4QS -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Paul Ferguson Sent: Monday, July 02, 2018 8:56 PM To: Dx4win Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Import of ADIF "Comment" field - answered Len (K1NU) noted that when a WSJT log is imported into DX4WIN, DX4WIN puts the contents of the field of the WSJT log into the DX4WIN "Callsign Notes" field.

Re: [Dx4win] Import of ADIF "Comment" field - answered
Len (K1NU) noted that when a WSJT log is imported into DX4WIN, DX4WIN puts the contents of the field of the WSJT log into the DX4WIN "Callsign Notes" field. What is in the WSJT field is usually the mode and signal reports such as "FT8 Sent: +01 Rcvd: +00". This is clearly QSO-related and not Callsign-related information. When I look at an ADIF specification, it says the field is a Comment field for the QSO (not for the Callsign).
