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.
