Len (K1NU) noted that when a WSJT log is imported into DX4WIN, DX4WIN puts the contents of the <comments> field of the WSJT log into the DX4WIN "Callsign Notes" field.
What is in the WSJT <comments> 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 <comments> field is a Comment field for the QSO (not for the Callsign). I do not know why WSJT decided to put the mode and signal reports in the <comments> field because other fields already contain the mode and signal reports. DX4win imports these mode and signal report fields into the proper parts of the DX4WIN log. The problem with importing the <comments> field into the DX4WIN Callsign Notes is when you work a station multiple times. With each repeat QSO, QSO-related info is appended to what is already in Callsign Notes. With many QSOs, Callsign Notes gets pretty mucked-up with info that does not belong there. I would like to see DX4WIN make a change so that WSJT <comments> field is put into DX4WIN Callsign Notes. 73, Paul K5ESW > Never mind... I found my own answer.
