[Dx4win] Comments in logbook?

[Dan Violette]

You missed the point.

Tom meant non-QSO related notes (e.g., raised dipole to 60', new TS-990, new amp, North Korea added to deleted countries, etc.).  QSO related notes are easy.

I liked someone's idea about logging yourself and using that for personal station notes.  I actually still have a paper log handy where all it is used for now is station notes.  I should just use a notebook and can then file a lot of stuff in there with the notes.  I have heard that recommended before but have not implemented (is it too late?).

I might be missing your point....but there aere already two fields in the QSO window for each QSO made. Notes for this QSO and Notes for this Call (if I remember correctly, I don't have the program loaded on this computer). So are you talking about some other kind of comments? I use them frequently. When I work someone with the same radio as me, I'll put a comment in the QSO in one of those fields. When I get a new radio, I add comments like "first 6 meter contact on new FT991A"....or "he's using same microphone as me"....and on and on, etc, etc.

So are you talking about something different? Because there are already TWO comment fields as the software already is. So I'm a bit confused what you are asking for....is it something different....
