Re: [Dx4win] Converting an ADIF Field?
I use a homebrew converter program that I threw together in Visual Basic that
lets me customize fields. Works great from Writelog adif output. It's a work
in progress, if anyone wants to play around with it...

Eric,
From my experiments:
comments:nn imports into Notes for this
QSO
notes:nn imports into Notes for this callsign
field
How did I test this? I create a monthly ADIF extract from
DX4Win to track my
CQ Marathon score (using AD1C's nice marathon.exe
utility). In that extract
the Notes for Callsign are represented with
notes:nn. I opened a test log
and imported those records into DX4Win. The Names {which
are in Notes for
Callsign} imported properly.

Subject: [Dx4win] Converting an ADIF Field?
I have an ADIF field comment that has the
operator's name and
callsign. It is imported into DX4Win as NOTES FOR
THIS QSO.
In order to print that data on a label using the
command, that data
needs to be in the NOTES FOR THIS CALLSIGN field.
DX4Win doesn't recognize the ADIF NOTES
field... I just tried it. I
don't know of a way to change NOTES FOR THIS QSO
to
NOTES FOR THIS CALLSIGN so I can use the
parameter when printing the
labels.
Any help is appreciated.

DXCC totals per band and per mode totals didn't match by a lot. Trying to resolve and fix these differences seems like an impossible task. Having notes of the difference associated with each QSO instead on in a file doesn't help. Any suggestions? You can do an F8 search in Notes for this QSO field for the word Error. The DX4WIN call/prefix/country database is fairly high-quality. I've been working on improving it for almost 3 years now. The most recent file is at: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/ -- just follow the links. You could be encountering errors during import that may not be related to the country file, i.e. serial numbers in the RST fields. Use F8 as described to give yourself a flavor of the kinds of problems you're hitting. I can work with you one-on-one to help resolve most if not all of these import problems. 4) Any way to SH/DX rather than bringing up the PACKET screen? Was hoping command lines would be available on spot display screen. No, commands can only be entered into the Packet Window. 7) Going to have to look through the filters section stuff a lot. I really want the capability to search through the logbook file setting particular defined bands, modes and frequencies and generate a screen or file of the QSO's that match. I suppose that is possible. Don't quickly see how. F8 search and specify the band and mode. Then Window - Logbook will bring up those QSOs selected. You can right-click on the Logbook window and invoke the Report Editor to arrange the data any way you like. 8) Any way to easily edit the country library within DX4WIN to quickly fix things like K6H is Hawaii rather than US? Sure one can change it for a particular QSO but how about the fix working for subsequent ones? Just log the QSO with the correct date/time/prefix and it will be added to the country file automatically. I'll make a note to fix this call in the next release of the country files. 10) What is update policy? I see costs associated in going from one version to another but nothing mentioned about within version updates. No charge when staying within a minor version (7.01 to 7.02) but nominal charge for a major version upgrade. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ad1c.us

Recently, I attempted to convert 6800 qsos that were made in CT 10.XXX. I went to the ct reflector and downloaded C2A that was updated to the May 2004 version. The conversion seemed to go smoothely until I noticed that only 2700 qsos were changed...no errors. I attempted this several times without any change. I then converted the bin file to ct9 and used the c2a again. Not much improvement. When I used an older version of C2A, I got 5700 qsos converted to ADIF formatthe last 6 hours were not there. I have done many ADIF conversions before and have never had this problem. In fact, I converted 3 smaller logs (about 600 qsos) and they went perfectly into ADIF an I was able to put them into my database, merge them, etc. Has anyone else had this problem with a very large file?

My 2 centsYMMV. 73, Joe WL7M Hello all, You fellows need to understand that 'casual contesting' is geared toward the DX'er who is in a contest for new band and mode countries, with the focus on DX'ing, not contesting. It has nothing to do with contesting for the intent of contesting, at what ever level, but solely in support of the DX'er. Also, Cabrillo is not a 'one size fits all' thing. It is a contest specific format. Go to http://www.kkn.net/~trey/cabrillo/qso-template.html and you will see what I am saying. At a minimum, there are 8 different formats. Although the date, time, mode, band info is stable, the rest of it is all over the place, depending upon the contest. It may be a different story if it was one specific file format, such as ADIF. But, even then, time permitting. If you need contest support from the contest perspective, get a program that's main purpose is contesting. I understand there are even one or two good ones which are freeware, which may be worth looking into. When I'm contesting, I use Writelog. 73 de Steve, NR4M --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
