I can't speak for Paul... but the problem you identify is actually one
of DX4Win's strengths... All the information is in one place. If you
correct one occurrence, you correct them all. I would hate him to change
that.
What I do... and it works for me...
If it is just a matter of recording the operator... I put Club or DXped
or Spcl Envt in name depending on what is most appropriate...
I put Op-name in the QSO Notes (Not Call Notes)
In the situation where QTH is also variable... I think that's less
common... also put QTH-location in the QSO notes.
Just to review... Call notes (and now Name and QTH) are linked to a
unique callsign... you change one and you have changed them all. QSO
notes are unique to each Contact.
Also, don't forget Ctrl-E opens up both notes into a multi-line memo...
so you can store a lot of info.

The other situation I encounter... since I've been at this a while is
the re-assigned call problem. In this case I put the Historical info
into the CALL Notes (Not QSO Notes) and the new name and QTH in the
appropriate fields. This instantly update ALL references to the same call.

I have a problem and it is not new for version 8.01.
I am QSL manager for a scout station and we work a lot of scout stations.
They could have different operators and change QTH from year to year.
For example, SK0XA.
1969 Lasse Stockholm
1972 Bengt Farsta
1975 Sten Huddinge
1984 Marie Farsta
Operator changes are common with other club stations too and there are some
examples of reissued old call signs. People move and change QTH but keep
their callsign.
If I add a new operator and a new QTH to an existing the new one overwrites
the old.
Is it possible to make the program suggest the old Name and QTH but if
changed the old is still kept with the old contacts and the new is saved
with the new name and QTH? If then the station is worked again the new
operator and QTH will be suggested.
Thanks for a very interesting update
