Dwight, I log everything to the WSJT-X log and periodically export the adi file to Log4OM which is a Windows based program. There I can import the log to any of my four call-sign logs.
When on DX-vacations I run a MacBook Pro and do the same thing - export that file to Log4OM. Having said that I use MacLogger DX on the Apple MacBook Pro. Log4OM populates many of the missing data elements such as grid when I run the update utility. FYI - waving the flag for Log4OM ... it was developed by the same guy who was the brains behind HRD. He sold HRD and later developed Log4OM, which is simple but still has many basic features we seek in logging programs. It is free - but many folks contribute to help keep its excellent support going. I know I can set up WSJT-X to interface with those logging programs, but I choose to keep things simple and Murphy-proof as much as possible by doing the extra steps. I realize too that logging programs may provide the missing grid too, but ...

What logger are you using, mine is DXLabs? 73 Dwight NS9I On 4/13/2019 9:13 AM, DX Jami via wsjt-devel wrote: Dick, Agree with you Dick. It is a big pain to log an "abbreviated" FT8 QSO which omits the grid square. I used to use http://www.levinecentral.com/ham/grid_square.php to look up missing grids. With the grid square competition now history ... grids to some are less important. Altho I am not a grid square collector - I always looked up the missing grid square because my "logs" required them. Of course we can not log an FT8 contact into the grid square database without a valid grid square. However, we can log an FT8 exchange into our "FT8 contact" log without a grid. It simply has no entry for the grid square data element. This is not a big show stopper because my logging program updates certain missing fields when I import the WSJT-X log.adi file. But fundamentally Dick, when working as a DX station, I simply ignore stations which do not go thru the entire FT8 exchange sequence because many of them are QRMing my in-progress QSO and simply being rude, like I said previously. I hear several people talk about speeding up FT8 exchanges by eliminating certain parts of the FT8 sequences. For the most part, I reject that argument. Maybe we all have a lot of time on our hands even if we are working FT8, and working one more redundant DXCC entity is perhaps no big deal. Have a good day.

It's a real pain, especially if I have to look up the guys call to get his Grid Square. And, if it's a portable operation, it's even more difficult. 73, Dick, W1KSZ Sent from Outlook From: Timothy Hickman <timothyhick...@comcast.net> Sent: Friday, April 12, 2019 11:44 AM To: wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [wsjt-devel] FT8 calling CQ I have noticed lately that when I send CQ on FT8 A few stations start their respond with the signal report not their grid square. Is there something here I do not understand?
