Neal, As someone has already suggested, the ARRL does NOT take an ADIF file for LOTW. You must take your ADIF file and use TQSL to convert the ADIF file to a TQ8 file. This assures that the file is in fact coming from you and is password protected.

It has the required fields for LoTW. It also has fields present so you could export your log as ADIF, import it back and all of the DXBase-specific fields (like Spec1, Spec2) will be restored. 73 Neal Neal Campbell Owner Abroham Neal LLC Work: +1 540 645 5394 Mobile: +1 540 645 8171 On Fri, Jan 25, 2013 at 11:35 AM, Stewart Lewis <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for all the responses.
