Paul,
This used to bother me. I solved the problem by unchecking the "db reports
to comments" box under the Reporting tab in Settings within WSJT-X. By
doing that, nothing is saved to the comments field in the ADIF file and thus
nothing gets imported into the Call Sign Notes field in DX4WIN.

Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Import of ADIF "Comment" field - answered
Len (K1NU) noted that when a WSJT log is imported into DX4WIN, DX4WIN puts
the contents of the field of the WSJT log into the DX4WIN
"Callsign Notes" field.
What is in the WSJT field is usually the mode and signal reports
such as "FT8 Sent: +01 Rcvd: +00". This is clearly QSO-related and not
Callsign-related information.
When I look at an ADIF specification, it says the field is a
Comment field for the QSO (not for the Callsign).
I do not know why WSJT decided to put the mode and signal reports in the
field because other fields already contain the mode and signal
reports. DX4win imports these mode and signal report fields into the proper
parts of the DX4WIN log.
The problem with importing the field into the DX4WIN Callsign
Notes is when you work a station multiple times. With each repeat QSO,
QSO-related info is appended to what is already in Callsign Notes. With many
QSOs, Callsign Notes gets pretty mucked-up with info that does not belong
there.
I would like to see DX4WIN make a change so that WSJT field is
put into DX4WIN Callsign Notes.
