Hi Mark,
Thanks for your follow up.? Enter a call sign in AC Log and press space bar (or tab) to tab.? If the value doesn't appear, you can be sure that it is being inserted by the connected program.
Enjoy!

Hi Scott
I verified that I did both of your suggestions:
Click Settings > Carry Comments Data Forward so that it is
unchecked. Click
Callbook > Place Retrieved Address in Comments Field so that it is
unchecked.
This did not help my issue.
This is from WSJT-X:

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your e-mail.? Unless you are logging the same call sign, the repeated value in the comments field is coming from a connected program, not AC Log.??
If you prefer to not have the Comments field filled automatically from AC Log, you can do either or both of the following:
Click Settings > Carry Comments Data Forward so that it is unchecked. This will keep previous comments data with the same station from being brought forward to the current QSO.
Click Callbook > Place Retrieved Address in Comments Field so that it is unchecked. This will keep callbook retrieved data for the current contact from being added.
You will need to modify behaviors from connected programs in those applications. Enjoy!

Where did you enter than comment -- in
ACLog or WSJT-X?? If in WSJT-X do you have "Retain" checked?? In
ACLog, I believe the Carry Comments Forward applies only
to the same station.? Try erasing the comments on the next Q you
log.

Now that comment is replicated for each QSO I log!

I've done this and it doesn't help.

Re: State QSO Party - Logging DX
Oh that was just me randomly putting in call signs trying out the software. He is not DX. I figured out the county field is what dictates it as DX.?

Re: State QSO Party - Logging DX
Hi Josh,
Thanks for your e-mail.? Don't change the country name to DX.? Log the default DX country that appears.? You Cabrillo file will be formatted properly for submittal.

Using an actual DX call with “DX” in the country box didn’t work. But when you a DX call in it puts the country in and then it counts it.?
so I’m just unclear for the context of I should just let it populate the county or put DX in that box. I thought the rules said DX but maybe I’m interpreting it wrong.?

Re: State QSO Party - Logging DX
You put in the exchange what the
station tells you.? Do not guess.

Hi Larry --

Just tested my watch list and Looks like you will need to have a working? rig control inorder to have a watch list GO button to sent watch list contact callsign to the call field, which you can then hit space bar or tab to autofill callsign data from QRZ
