Call signs whether licenced amateurs or SWL's are expected to be separated by / not - so the character is not allowed

If others allow this sign it´s not a problem of Lof4OM so we use standard ADIF 3.xx. By the way, what should be
the reason to log an incoming SWL QSL ? This card is woth nothing for any Hamradio Award. For Ham awards
only 2 way contacts are counting. An SWL can send you a eQSL but it dont counts for you or me or other hams
as a 2way contact. Your answered card is worth for the SWL for SWL awards.
To receive (and anwering to) SWL reports is nice but there´s no reason to fill sore them in the Logbook.
I am HAM since 40 years now and i haven´t stored incoming SWL cards in my old paper logs nore in any electronic
one. I answere them and then i put it in a seperate Box, done. The SWL is happy for the answere and that´s it.
If you mean "it´s a shame" don´t ask us. We are not ADIF.org.

Michel,
The easy answer is to input the SWL as 3A/1001/SWL, you will need to fill the rest of the data manually of course.
You will note there is a SWL field included in the Log4OM grids but you have to fill the field using the QSO Manager, there is no input field for this

@Michel,
if wou work FT8 the incoming SWL cards will be increase. I have a lot each month via eQSL and about 30+ each
year by the bureau. The bureau cards also often for CW contacts. But this as Off Topic ...
