That's because the adif file is a copy of the original, native format
log, which has extension .xlog
You can try this, change filenames as appropriate. Do this while xlog is
not running
cd ~/.xlog
cat mylogfile.xlog | sed -e "s/PFR-3/ /" > mylogfile-new.xlog
mv mylogfile.xlog mylogfile.xlog.safecopy
now run xlog and see if it worked.
The trick here is to replace the annoying string you have there with an
equal amount of spaces.
If this callsign appears in your log only a handful of times, it may be
easier to just edit the records from within xlog itself.
