I agree with you Mel, that it is excellent that changes in Notes for this call update all. I use the ctrl E and add several lines for those stations that have been working with several operators and at different QTHs. As you I often indicat several operators as multi. It is not possible to use ctrl E in the Name and QTH field.
However, now when there is a new possibility with the Name and QTH fields i think it would be nice if those could stay with the QSO and the latest ones will be sugested in those fields. If I got a QSL card and add the information from that I suggest that all contacts with that station with empty fields after that time wil be filled with the information added. If there is any informetion in any of these two fields in contacts made after the time you have got confirmed by a QSL it should not be overwritten. The program should not change any field prior to the one added. You could then use the Notes for this call field to summarize all changes for the station. So every time you have contact with the station you can see the history in that field.
