A basic logging facility in _WSJT-X_ saves QSO information to flies
named +wsjtx.log+ (in comma-separated text format) and +wsjtx_log.adi+
(in standard ADIF format).  These files can be imported directly into
other programs, for example spreadsheets and popular logging prgrams.
More elaborate logging capabilities are supported in cooperation with
{jtalert}, {hrd}, or the {dxlsuite}.

The program option *Show DXCC entity and worked before status*
(selectable on the *Settings | General* tab) is intended mostly for
use on non-Windows platforms, where {jtalert} is not available.  When
this option is checked _WSJT-X_ appends some additional information to
all CQ messages displayed in the _Band Activity_ window.  The name of
the DXCC entity is shown, abbreviated if necessary.  Your ``worked
before'' status for this callsign (according to log file
+wsjtx_log.adi+) is flagged with a single character and a change of
background color, as follows:

[horizontal]
!::  (default color bright purple) -- New DXCC entity
~::  (light pink) -- You have already worked this DXCC entity but not 
this station
 ::  (green) -- You have previously worked the calling station

In this respect the program does not distinguish between modes, but it
does differentiate between bands.

_WSJT-X_ includes a built-in +cty.dat+ file containing DXCC prefix 
information.  Updated files can be downloaded from {cty_dat} when 
required.  If an updated +cty.dat+ is present in the logs folder 
and readable, it will be used in preference to the built-in one.

The log file +wsjtx_log.adi+ is updated whenever you log a QSO from
_WSJT-X_.  (Keep in mind that if you erase this file you will lose all
``worked before'' information.)  You can append or overwrite the
+wsjtx_log.adi+ file by exporting your QSO history as an ADIF file
from another logging program.  Turning *Show DXCC entity and worked
before status* off and then on again will cause _WSJT-X_ to re-read
the log file.  Very large log files may cause _WSJT-X_ to slow down
when searching for calls.
