Bill,

Fields in the ADIF record are only exported if there is something in that
field in your log.  The QSL sent data is exported as in the example of an
exported record from our log:

<CALL:5>1A0KM <QSO_DATE:8>19841208 <TIME_ON:4>0342 <RST_SENT:2>59
<RST_RCVD:2>59 <QSL_VIA:6>Bureau

<ITUZ:2>28 <OPERATOR:5>AA4LU <PFX:3>1A0 <QSL_RCVD:1>Y <DXBQSL_RCVD:1>1

<BAND:3>80M <CQZ:2>15

<MODE:3>LSB <QSL_SENT:1>Y <DXBQSL_SENT:1>1 <QSLSDATE:8>19921225

<DXBPFX:2>1A <DXBMGRN:1>1 <DXBAWD:1>0 <DXBSEL:1>0 <DXBVAL:1>3

<EOR>

The ARRL country number you mention is not in the record because there is no
such field in the log.  The team of companies that developed the ADIF
specification asked for organizations to maintain the list and keep it
current but did not receive any commitment.  Therefore, although the field
is allowed, it was not widely used since no one stepped up to the plate to
maintain the list in a "real-time" manner.  For example, when a new country
comes along it would be quite a long time before a number is assigned to the
new country.  This causes a problem for those trying to export the field
when no assignment had been made.  Thus, the field is not used by us at
present and many others also elected to exclude it.



Hope this helps,

Courtney

Subject: [DXBase] ADIF export


I am trying to export an ADIF file of my entire log with all of the DXbase
data.  Even when I set no filters in the Selection Wizard, I am getting all
of the QSOs (84k) but only some of the DXbase fields included.  In
particular the exported ADIF file is missing the DXCC country ID and date
QSL sent data for each record.  How do I add these items to the ADIF export?

73,
