This has bitten me several times...


 

I use ACLog (N3FJP) almost exclusively for logging my POTA activations. I have 3,741 contacts in my log. More times that I can count, ACLog has associated an incorrect name with a callsign.? I know how this happens:

I begin entering a callsign as I receive it (I operate CW exclusively for POTA). If I have the callsign incorrect initially and hit tab, and the callsign resolves to an actual real callsign (but incorrect), ACLog fills-in the pertinent information. After receiving and entering the correct callsign and hitting tab, the name associated with the incorrect callsign and other info is left in the name field, forever to be used for future contacts with that call until it is noticed by me at some point. I've learned to clear the name field and other fields when I have to make a correction so that they are filled with the correct information, but this is just a hassle, and I don't have a lot of time during pile-ups to make these extra tabs and deletes during an activation. I know I'm not the only one this happens to.

Is there a workaround for this? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, 73, Jim, dit dit
