[Dx4win] ADIF County Conversion Software 3.2

2006-05-15 Thread Jim Reisert AD1C
Version 3.2 of my ADIF County Conversion program is now available and 
can be downloaded from:

http://software.ad1c.us/#County

This is a bug-fix release.  Here are the release notes for this version:

* MDC is valid in INQP
* Support name field in TR (3rd party conversion)
* County abbreviations can be in lower or UPPER case
* No warning message for abbreviation DX
* Fixed problems incrementing QSO by 1 second
* Fixed an infinite loop if ADIF file already had valid CNTY field
* If the ADIF value is too long, stop before the next tag (bug in TR to 
ADIF)

The next change I have planned is to be able to support multiple QSO 
parties on the same weekend (i.e. NEQP, INQP, 7QP and MARAC CW).

Please report any bugs, suggestions for improvements, etc. to me 
directly.  Please spread the word on your logging and state QSO party 
reflectors.

did not want that to hold up this release.  I may have something 
later this week or in early May.

[Dx4win] ADIF County Conversion Software

2006-04-25 Thread Jim Reisert AD1C
In October 2004, I released a program designed aid in the import of 
QSO party contest logs into general purpose logging programs, 
automating the conversion of county abbreviations (like ADA) into 
ADIF-compatible county names (PA,Adams).

Today I released version 2.0 of this program:

http://software.ad1c.us/

This program should work both in DOS and in an MS-DOS window under 
all flavors of MS Windows.  Type the name of the program by itself to 
see the syntax, as well as the complete list of QSO parties supported.

Here are the release notes for the current version:

* Added: DE, HI, KY, LA, MDC, MO, NJ, NV, OK, OR, SC, VA, VT, WA, WV

* Added: 7-land QSO Party, Mid-Atlantic QSO Party, New England QSO Party

* Recognize Writelog-application-specific ADIF tags

* Added warning about county-line QSOs

The program now supports all state QSO parties in Writelog 10.59 as 
well as most state QSO parties in N1MM Logger (a few are not 
supported yet because the contest sponsors have not provided a list 
of abbreviations).

There are a couple things to note:

* Only recommended or official county abbreviations are 
recognized.  For example, MTE (not MAN) is the correct abbreviation 
for Manatee, FL.  The program will make its best guess (and show a 
warning) if it doesn't recognize an abbreviation.

* County lines are not really supported.  The program will give you a 
warning, and generate ADIF CNTY tags for each county logged in a 
single QSO, but in the same ADIF QSO record (i.e the ADIF QSO record 
will have multiple CNTY tags).  Your logging program may choose the 
first one or last one, or something in between.  I have two possible 
ways to fix this, but have not decided on one yet:

1.  Duplicate the QSO multiple times, once for each county.
2.  Use different but unsupported ADIF tags (i.e. CTY2, CTY3, etc.)

If you are a CT user, CT to ADIF already does this conversion.  7QP 
will be added shortly.

Please report any bugs, suggestions for improvements, etc. to me 
directly.  Please spread the word on your logging and state QSO party 
reflectors.
