While trying to log a FD FT4 contact twice now I have been unable to log 
contacts due to getting this type error. Both time using FT4 mode and both 
stations were late calling or responding to my answer of their CQ FD.
I had to manually enter each QSO what am I doing wrong why will this not log. 
Using JTAlert and latest HRD.
Thanks 73 Morris WA4MIT

Hi Morris,

you re-started the QSO with NA5D by double-clicking his R+exchange but that was in response a reply to his CQ you made before you had a QSO with W0GJ. WSJT-X does not keep history of partial QSOs that you later restart. All you needed to do was insert the exchange details previously sent to NA5D into the "Exchange sent" field of the Log QSO dialog, i.e. your exchange "1D AL". That would have allowed you to log the competed QSO. Auto-sequencing, and auto-logging are only provided as operator aids, not operator replacements.

You may feel that WSJT-X should always put your fixed FD exchange into that field, but it doesn't, it always uses the exchange sent in the current QSO. In other contests that is of course essential since it might contain a signal report or serial number which is QSO specific.
