I can't understand the difference from old and recent qso's...
can you pack up your database into a zip file and send it to me at lele (at) pisto.it ?

I also need a reference to find this QSO

Hi Helge
the COMMENT field of your QSO contains a SOTA reference.
During QSO save the whole QSO is parsed for references (that could be related to newly added awards) and the reference printed on the COMMENT field is identified again, and then reinserted in the QSO itself.
Remove the comment, then the reference and save :)

SOLVED

Hi,
thanks for the reply and your e-mail on the same topic,
I've cleaned up all of my comments now, and that did indeed solve the problem!

I was not aware of the "power" of the Comment/Note field for looking after references, but now I know :)

Thanks for looking into that, hopefully this can be of use of someone else having the same issue later someday.
