Isn't that what the "AUTOFILL" command is for?

	When SD identifies area codes from the callsign, or from
	previous QSOs, it auto-fills the data in the exchange field.
	This may be a nuisance in S&P mode, as you then have to
	use F5 to repeat your own call. The AUTOFILL command
	toggles this feature On and Off – it has no effect when
	you’re not in S&P mode.

I set AUTOFILL to "OFF" in the recent ARRL CW DX Contest, and found it 
solved that problem.
