[Dx4win] DX4Win - Wish list

[Mel Martin]

It isn't copied Ernie... it is a unique record that maps to the 
callsign... and is very useful as it stands... it should be left alone. 
BTW, I have the same issue as my log goes back to 1969.

What Paul needs to do is add a new field for name. I'm not sure, with 
access to QRZ.Com and such, whether there is any need to store the 
address... maybe a short field for QTH might be useful. These fields 
perhaps should copy forward by default... but this could be overridden. 
This would take care of this issue or archival information.

And Paul... PLEASE add a field for frequency data. D4W complicates lfe 
unnecessarily when exchanging data via ADIF by not supporting dedicated 
fields for Name/QTH/Freq.

Paul, if you read this... it would require a data migration utility.
The present convention seems to be name on the first line and QTH on the 
second line of notes.
