I don't know if this is the correct location to ask my question, but it is a start. I would like to re-purpose the user field, user5 in the Log--Main screen that displays all of the log information on a qso. I would like for this field to be able to display the country name the DXCC prefix field to its left. I've read my manual and really am not making head way. Is this possible and how would I do this?

Thank you,

John/KA5SWC

Don't think it's possible, but if you Open the Info Form it'll give you that information.

It actually IS possible. But as WA4PGM says, not necessary or recommended.

In addition to the info window, you can hover the mouse over the DXCC field in the log form to see the name.

A main reason that I am asking about this because of the way I have my multiple screens configured, I find that it is a natural for me to look at the DXCC prefix and would like to see the country name near by, instead of looking at another screen location. And the thought just occurred to me, what is the use of having User5 field where it is? There are many other features that have multiple access points. Thanks for the help.

Thanks everyone! I too never notice the pointer over DXCC would show the country name.
