Sorry, Bill. The instructions are unclear. I'll fix the web just
after I hit the SEND button.
There is a Format selection box in the program (DX4WIN6 or DX4WIN8).
The default is DX4WIN8, so you have to import using that format. If
you change it to DX4WIN6 (because you're using an older version of
DX4WIN), then you have import in that format.

Ok, what did I do wrong?
I downloaded Jim's latest conversion tool and tested it on a previous contest
( ARRL RTTY ROUNDUP 2010 ). My Contest logging software is WinTEST. My
current version of DX4win is 8.03 ( Although I think I might have a problem
with it since I can't seem to access packet ).
1. I moved my contest adif file to the save folder under 8.03.
2. I started the conversion tool. and told it to use the format of DX4WIN6 (
even though I am running dx4win version 8 ) . Jim's instructions say to use
DX4WIN6 when importing?
3. The window in the conversion tool indicated that all my QSOs were
written, but it also listed every QSO in the log with a notation is missing
received data
3. I confirmed that the tool did create a .dxq file under the same save
folder.
4. I then did an import into dx4win using the import/filters ID of DX4WIN6 (
Again per instructions ) I used overwrite current QSOs because I had
previously loaded this file into DX4WIn ( You might ask why I would do
this---The answer is because the original import did not populate the state
column, it only populated the received column with the state. )
5. The import result was that indeed it completed the import and the only
issue is now neither the state column or the received column is populated (
Hence the original error message is missing received data. The note column
was populated with the note I had entered into the conversion tool.
What am I missing. Any help appreciated.
