I've looked, but so far can't find a way to add the name of the DX entity to the log form. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

If you click on the DXCC field the prefix along with name is listed.

Right -- there is really no reason to log the DXCC country name. It is shown all over the place. But if you want to do it:

Thank you Dennis. I realize by mousing over the DXCC field that it will show the entity, but as an avid DXer I've always thought the log form was "Complete" with the entity also listed. It just seems right to me. I followed the YouTube video and have the field working. The only question I have now is if there is a way to populate this field in the thousands of QSO's I have in Logic.

Thank you!!

Good question. I will research it. It may be possible with the new .net data access functions. If not I can add one.

Here you go:

Please reinstall 9.1.30 again before doing this. There was a small problem with the function we use to get the prefix record using the DXCC prefix. It was not necessarily returning the master prefix record for a DXCC. So for G it might log ENGLAND (NOVICE LICENSE) instead of ENGLAND.
