If there are more than one QSO Parties listed on that File Menu, don't use
that short cut method because, as you said, you are opening the log "blind".
Instead, use the File > Open Log selection. The database panel will come up
with the same list of "previously used" logs listed in the window. Now when
you single click on a QSO Party title, look at the State Party window, lower
to the right. It will show you the state that log is setup for. Single click
another QSO Party title to reveal the state for that log.
This might add a second or two, but you won't waste time opening the wrong
log.
