I assume that you imported your logbook into Logger32 the records did not include a PFX field.(PFX being ADIF speak for WPX).?There's an option when importing an ADIF file to use the PFX field in the ADIF record or to use the default Logger32 WPX calculation.
?
I don't recall any batch feature/function that will fill in the blanks for you. SeventyThree(s).

The solution is in the FAQ at the bottom of page 230 of the Logger32 User Manual, Michal.
Export your complete log as an ADIF, then import it into a fresh log, ticking the import option <Ignore PFX field> which tells Logger32 to ignore the [mostly empty] PFX field in your ADIF, calculating and filling it one QSO at a time.??

PS? There are many such solutions in the manual.? It's worth searching there for whatever needs solving.? In respect of Logger32, that is.? The manual cannot solve climate change, ballistic wars or trade wars, unfortunately.?

I know this is not answering your specific question, but I don't see the need to do it exactly the way you suggest. There might be a way to do it in L32, but I am not aware of why L32 doesn't show all prefixes in your example.
?
You could use this display to show all of the prefixes that you have worked.
?

And here is an example partial output showing the prefixes that you have worked by band.

Does anyone in the group have an FTdx5000 working in conjunction with Fldigi using Rick's N2AMG gateway? I seem to be having some issues with changing frequencies from within Fldigi and having the rig follow and stay in PKT-USB mode. I've tried RIG-CAT, Hamlib and Fldigi control with no success. If you do, I'd love if you could share your settings with me.

Thanks, de Jim K2QB

Must be a problem here on one of my many computers... I tried a different PC and was able connect via TCP to my host. VPSE worked fine with Logger32!

It's possibly/probably a feature/function of the DX Cluster you are connected to, For some unknown reason DX Clusters output sh/dx/whatever text in a different format to the common-all-garden-generic real-time DX Spots. So, Logger32 needs to reformat the output from sh/dx/whatever.
?
To compound the problem, there is no de facto?standard, Logger32 knows of four formats in common use, and adjusts the reformatting accordingly.
?
Try a different DX Cluster. SeventyThree(s).

Anyone got any idea - RH6B came in as normal then the rest is the result of sh/dx/10. Clearly the callsigns are in the comment field and the rest is also out of bonk somehow.

The USA Counties Award is managed by the MARAC organization and was implemented after CQ folded with some changes from CQ's award.
One major change is we do not require written confirmation of contacts for the award, ie QSL cards.?
The fact that the organization has no Awards Manager is correct BUT we have an Awards Secretary that does all the work managing the awards.
The MARAC board of directors comprised of hams from different districts guide the Awards Secretary and make the primary decisions that the Secretary implements.

Re: W11 Laptop Recommendation
FWIW, here are my 2 cents.? You need to make an executive decision before anything else - choose to be completely inside the Microsoft Cloud or have the ability to create a local user account that doesn't require being in the MS cloud (and train their AI).
Win11 Pro, 24H2 will, if you have some command line skills, allow you to create a local user account while Win11 Home does not.??
Armed with that info, I have had good luck with HP Elitebooks, a lower end but business class laptop. You don't want a no name brand because support will be even less available than from HP.? Always buy the extended warranty because the newer notebooks are made like junk compared to their Win 10 counterparts unless you want to drop $1K+ on a top tier business laptop.
I've purchased several refurbished laptops from New Egg but never went for the extended warranty and only one, a HP Elitebook with 12 megs and a 512gB SSD, Win11 Pro had a problem- a defective camera. Since it was my wife's machine, I never tested the camera and when her Zoom meeting didn't work, it was two days past the warranty. I added an external camera which works OK but caveat emptor.? I will never buy another laptop, new or refurbished, without an extended warranty.??
Hope that this gives you something to chew on.? YMMV.?

Re: W11 Laptop Recommendation
Just an addition to that... watch out for programs that keep on running background processes after being 'closed'. Notably Edge and Chrome default to this, other stuff (mostly) may not. Use taskmgr to find these and change their settings within the browser and then check again. Also, remove a bunch of stuff in the 'Apps' area, such as the awful M$ News, Weather, etc., etc. they are tracking-ware disguised as 'handy' items! I shudder to think how a relatively clean HP machine compares to the likes of Lenovo stuff that's filled with crap-ware and much other layers of their configuration junk. Speaking on hardware, newer laptops have less ports and generally are 50/50 split between USB and USB-C sockets, with one USB-C being used for charging/power. Oh, VGA, etc. is pretty dead. Just about all use HDMI so you also have to jump that issue with an external monitor, BTW.
