Here is another possibility.

You can export your log to DX4WIN# format (where # is 4 or 6 depending on the
version of DX4WIN you are running).  This will create a plain-text .DXQ file.

The format of the .DXQ file is very simple:

QSO #1
QSO notes #1
QSO #2
QSO notes #2
etc.

So the QSO notes are on every other line in the file (2nd, 4th, etc.).  If you
have a programmable text editor (like EMACS), you can create a macro or
"program" to add the comment to every other line for the number of QSOs you
want to change.

Group numbers is a nice feature and I use it a lot. I just wish we were allowed 
more than 254 group numbers. At my present rate I will have all 254 numbers 
used by CQ WPX CW this year. When that happens I will have to look at other 
options to accomplish this or look at different software that will do what I 
want.

What about using group numbers - assign a different group to each imported log?

I agree, this is going to be a problem for some people.  Paul could change this
from a 1-byte field to a 2-byte field (giving 64K group numbers).  However, it
would result in a change to the the .DXL (logbook) file format, which would
cause compatibility problems with older versions of the software.

Hi Bill,
I'm not sure how you allocate your group numbers. I started giving a number to 
every contest, IE CQ WPX CW,2005,2006,2007 ETC and could see I would fast run 
out of numbers. On a suggestion from a local user I now only have one number 
for each contest and use the same number each year. Its a simple matter to 
filter by year or mode as and when you require. This has reduced my groups 
considerably.

Cheers
