What am I doing wrong? I have been adding contest logs to my DX4WIN files for myself and also the OM K9OT. This is for our home calls as well as the FP ones.
When I import NA files, the states do not show up and I have been adding them manually. There's got to be a better way. Naturally this refers to contests that use the state as part of the exchange. 73 de Peg KB9LIE in snowy SW Wisconsin USA ____________________________________________________________________________________ The fish are biting.

You must open your ADIF log with a notepad or equivalent and locate from the first QSO line the state information. In one of my old ARRL DX contest logs the state could be found from comment field i.e. <call:4>K4XS<freq:6>14.000<mode:2>CW<qso_date:8>20000219<time_on:4>0002 <rst_sent:3>599<rst_rcvd:3>599<comment:4>FL <eor> If your log looks the same as my example you must a replace command to replace all the "comment:4"s with "state:2"s (without the hyphens).

Look at an ADIF file (using notepad) and see if the STATE: field is there. If not, I have a program which populates state/county information into an ADIF file generated from certain state QSO parties. Some of the contest logs use non-standard fields to hold the state and/or section. See: http://software.ad1c.us/#County There's a link to a Windows version of the program somewhere there. Now this program doesn't support random contests with just states or counties, but (i.e. NAQP etc.) but it "might just work" by picking any state from the drop-down box. But if you send me a representative ADIF log, I'll add that functionality, it should only take me a day or two. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jan 22 16:32:51 2007 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Mark) Date: Mon Jan 22 16:36:40 2007 Subject: [Dx4win] winkey2 support Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I've had some problems with using my new WINKEY2 (USB) with DX4WIN.
