[Dx4win] FW: Operating from two QTH.

Wed Oct 12 17:39:19 EDT 2022

Thank you Jerry also for contributing your idea.
I would prefer a single record, as you say, to keep statistics.
In the city, when I use the CAT of the equipment, the frequency is
reflected, however, the one I have on the farm is an old equipment, a
Kenwood TS-130SE, where the frequency does not appear in that field.
Therefore, that is a way of knowing, from which QTH I made the QSO.
Thanks to Dave, Kostas and you for taking your time and helping me figure
this out.
