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...

Re: [Dx4win] Converting an ADIF Field?
Oops - I mis-typed my previous posting. Should have said:
>From my experiments:
imports into "Notes for this QSO"
imports into "Notes for this callsign field"
where nn is the length of the field.
Use Notepad (or any text editor - Notepad is notoriously slow at
search/replace on large files) to replace "

Re: [Dx4win] Converting an ADIF Field?
Eric,
(Adif) Notes = Notes for this Call
(Adif) Comment = Notes for this QSO
So yes you are correct when you do change the fieldname your problem will be
corrected
With ADIFMaster you can change the columm name directly from notes to
comment
And delete the original comment colum took me 25 seconds with + 41000 qso

Re: [Dx4win] Converting an ADIF Field?
So if, using a text editor, I change to it
will work?
I assume the "nn" is the length of the field.

Re: [Dx4win] Converting an ADIF Field?
I've received two conflicting answers. As to the comment: "You don't really need a name on a QSL card... and it gets meaningless if you do a lot of contesting where the ops name is often unknown." I agree in the contest context. However, this was a special event station and it would be a nice touch!

Re: [Dx4win] Converting an ADIF Field?
Unfortunately the import is correct and I don't think you can do anything about it. Comments refer to a specific QSO. Notes apply to the callsign. This is where the name normally goes. This is how it works in all the logging programs I am familiar with. You don't really need a name on a QSL card... and it gets meaningless if you do a lot of contesting where the ops name is often unknown.

Re: [Dx4win] Converting an ADIF Field?
Eric,
>From my experiments:
imports into "Notes for this QSO"
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 . I opened a test log
and imported those records into DX4Win. The Names {which are in Notes for
Callsign} imported properly.

[Dx4win] Converting an ADIF Field?
I have an ADIF field 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 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. 73, Eric W3DQ Washington, DC __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
