Neal, Guessing you screwed yourself. Bottom line: "don't delete nuttin'" without backing up.
You likely have not backed up your computer. If you did, you could reload your worked before files by copying the backed up version of CALL3.TXT to your current version. [simply copy and paste] I back up my computer monthly to an external hard drive. Those external drives are not expensive, and mine has helped get my bacon out of the fire a few times. As a minimum, you can back up your important files - ham radio logs, etc. - to either a thumb drive or just copy them to another directory in Windows by creating a folder in "Documents" or something like that ... and backing up occasionally. OK ... if you did not do any of that stuff ... there is a slim chance you can recover previously deleted files. Click this link for info on recovering lost files on Windows 10. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/recover-lost-files-on-windows-10-61f5b28a-f5b8-3cc2-0f8e-a63cb4e1d4c4 Before doing that, check your "Recycle Bin" in case you have never emptied it. Your WB4 file may be there. Chances are slim you will be able to recover your self-deleted files, but who knows: maybe you will get lucky. Joe: if you are reading this thread ... consider putting a section in the owners manual about backing up data to either an external source [external hard drive or cloud] or another folder resident on the hard drive. I am guessing many folks may find data recovery useful. Joe, another thot if you choose to do that ... consider automatically saving WSJT-X files simultaneously to the current directories AND to a back up folder or drive [selectable during program set up]. Neal ... I just re-read your original message. It seems you are trying to update your WB4 statues using the adi file. You may have other options for re-creating your WB4 data. Try using the text file "wsjtx.log." Also, if you are like me and click the "add" button [to record call sign and grid -- before "saving" ] after every FT* contact, check for your CALL3.TXT file, as illustrated above. One of the forum smart guys can tell us which file records WB4 data ... but that data is available from several files. Good luck Neal.

That's not per the adif specs. this is a Wsjtx defect IMO. I have seen many adif files that contain empty lines. Also multi-line fields like the address, notes, qsl_msg and rig fields can contain empty lines. A single line adif record that contains one of these multi-line fields will result in the record spanning multiple lines in the adif file and if the field contains blank lines say for formatting or readability the result will be an empty line within a single record which is still considered adif compliant. de Laurie VK3AMA (JTAlert author) _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
