    Question, I am running FT8 with logging software N3FJP. I am a paid member of QRZ.com. When I setup auto logging QRZ only uploads the licensee first name. Is this normal? Why is the last name not uploading? I have the API key in there.

    Looking at your logbook, I see the field "Operator Name" and it shows a full name, so what makes you think that it is only uploading the First name?

    OK, going back, I see some older logs with just first names. So, what have you changed between the 28th and the 1st, and then again between the 1st and the 2nd?

    I went in and manually added the last names.

    This seems to be the way that N3FJP handles names. Watch this:|

    I also found this reference to it as well, albeit from like 5 years ago. It seems that this is the intentional design and that's the way it is going to be:

    Specifically, "If you are requesting that the last name also be included in the Name field (in addition to the last name already already being supported in the Comments field), sorry, the Name field is only intended for first name and we don't currently have any plans to modify that intent."

    Ok, Thank you for the reply. I did figure out how to get the full name and address to post under comments. Looks like that is the way it's going to be. 73's Rick, N0MED
