Hi Dwayne Agree with all said so far, just don't write a file extension name .dxl or .adf etc, ONLY the name of the file and the program will create an ADIF file for uploading

You should then get a file selector window with "Select the ADIF file to write to". Choose a name like "VE6QX-October-2-2014". That will give you an ADIF file that you can sign with TQSL. It sounds like you're saving the log records to VE6QX.DXL, which is a very bad idea as it will over-write your log. 73, -RIck > On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 5:13 PM, Dwayne <8...@telus.net> wrote: > > Tnx very much everyone for responding...
