Hi Luc! Probably it will be a special but not a standard case! Since I have all of the mobiles entered — the repetition of the call will add nothing for me and hence will not cause any changes to the log. But if the one from your log containing State/CTY info will match with mine (a unique one and with empty fields as I mentioned earlier) — it would probably «paint it» with the wrong info in 50% of cases. The same refers to newly re-issued or re-used callsigns. Or just in case of the call owner’s move. But I’m sure a percentage of these calls would be much less than a benefit from the populating of thousands of unknowns sitting in your log with no time to populate them manually. So my guess — is both of us should think of a special present to Jim if he helps us to solve the problem hihi ! 73’s !
