[Dx4win] export a submission to ADIF?

2012-05-06 Thread B. Nowak
I would like to attempt an online DXCC submission using the import 
function that ARRL says can be used.
They only accept ADIF format for this process.

Can anyone tell me how to export a submission report to ADIF in DX4WIN 
so I can do this ??

Use LOTW > Export to LOTW from the QSO window, then sign the resulting 
ADIF file with TQSL.  Couldn't be easier - I just did it this morning 
with 2 QSOs, to help a guy who just finished his triple play.

Re: [Dx4win] export a submission to ADIF?

2012-05-06 Thread N4QS
Brad,

I'm not sure the way Pete is suggesting will work.  I just did it a couple 
of weeks ago, and here is how I did it:

1.  Go to Reports, Awards, and uncheck Lotw under the Confirmation box in 
the upper left.  This ensures that you will only be submitting confirmations 
which have been confirmed via a card.

2.  Click on Reports, Award flags and then select DXCC Mixed in the upper 
box and Clear Submitted in the Action box and then click on the Change 
button.  Next select DXCC band in the upper box, Clear Submitted and Change. 
Finally, select DXCC mode in the upper box, Clear Submitted and Change. 
This clears out all QSOs that you might have already marked for Submission. 
This step is a precaution to ensure that you did not run Submission before 
with the LOTW button selected as outlined in Step 1.

3.  Click on Reports and under Report / Action, select Submission.  This 
will mark all cards eligible for DXCC credit for Submission and create a 
report that you can view.  You should right click and print the report.  It 
would be great if Paul would allow the user to right click on this report 
and create an ADIF file for submission to the ARRL.  Unfortunately, you 
cannot create the ADIF file at this point.  So save the report that you just 
printed out and move on to Step 4.

4.  Go back to the main QSO entry screen and press F5 several times until 
the Award boxes appear at the bottom of the window.  Then hit F8 and click 
on the Mixed box under DXCC and select S (for submission).  Then click on 
File in the upper left on DX4WIN and select Import/Export.  Select ADIF and 
then File again in the smaller window and Export.  It should prompt you with 
a warning that you are running a Filter, say yes that you want to export 
using the filter.  Name the file something like yourcall mixed.  You have 
just created an ADIF file for all QSOs eligible for DXCC Mixed credit.  You 
have to repeat this process two more times -- after doing a F8 fileter for 
DXCC Band and then a filter for DXCC Mode.  You should end up with three 
ADIF files named yourcall mixed, yourcall band and yourcall mode.  Remember 
where you saved these ADIF files.

5.  Finally, go to the ARRL website and log into the online DXCC submission 
page.  I can't remember the exact navigation within the submission pages, 
but in essence you are simply going to import the three ADIF files one at a 
time.  The DXCC online form allows you to import multiple ADIF files into 
the form.  Very easy.  When you get done, you should click on the View 
Submission button and compare all the listed QSOs in this report to the 
DX4WIN Submission report that you printed out in Step 3.  When I did this, 
my online report matched the DXCC Submission report exactly.  I then merely 
had to sort my cards to appear in the order as presented in the online 
submission form and then complete the submission.  I took all of my cards to 
my local DXCC card checker.

This process is a bit complicated and requires some advanced knowledge of 
DX4WIN.  Paul could make this whole process a snap by allowing users to 
create an ADIF file directly from the Submission report once it is 
generated.

I hope this helps.  Good luck.

Dave, N4QS

Re: [Dx4win] export a submission to ADIF?

2012-05-06 Thread B. Nowak
Thanks Pete but that's not what I'm referring to.
I've done many LOTW submissions and it works fine.

What I'm talking about is a submission for cards ONLY.

The new online submission to arrl allows one to "import" a list for 
submission if it is in ADIF format.

I would like to be able to try this but all I can do is create a CSV 
file of the submission which is far from ADIF.

Thanks,
Brad - N8SNM

Thanks Dave,
Seems like quite a dance but I'll give it a go.

It's a new thing with arrl so maybe Paul will be able to come up with an 
export function for the card submissions online sometime in the near future.

Brad, see this reflector post:

http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/dx4win/2012-April/018340.html

What it doesn't say is that *before* doing the submission (assuming
you're using some form of Version 8), File | Awards and in the
Confirmation box on the DXCC tab, uncheck "LoTW".  This ensures that
only paper QSLs are submitted.

The application server allows you to upload multiple ADIF files for a
single DXCC submission.

Thanks for the help on the ADIF files creation for submission, it worked

While not an easy process, sure beats entering all by hand and accurate too.

Brad,

I am glad you made it through the ADIF creation process given how much is 
involved.  It would sure be a snap if Paul would create the functionality to 
allow the user to right click on the Submission Report and create the ADIF 
file for direct import into the ARRL DXCC submission page.  It would sure be 
a great enhancement to roll out at Dayton!

Dave, N4QS

>>> couple of weeks ago, and here is how I did it:
>>>
>>> 1.  Go to Reports, Awards, and uncheck Lotw under the Confirmation box
>>> in the upper left.  This ensures that you will only be submitting
>>> confirmations which have been confirmed via a card.
>>>
>>> 2.  Click on Reports, Award flags and then select DXCC Mixed in the
>>> upper box and Clear Submitted in the Action box and then click on the
>>> Change button.  Next select DXCC band in the upper box, Clear
>>> Submitted and Change. Finally, select DXCC mode in the upper box,
>>> Clear Submitted and Change. This clears out all QSOs that you might
>>> have already marked for Submission. This step is a precaution to
>>> ensure that you did not run Submission before with the LOTW button
>>> selected as outlined in Step 1.
>>>
>>> 3.  Click on Reports and under Report / Action, select Submission.
>>> This will mark all cards eligible for DXCC credit for Submission and
>>> create a report that you can view.  You should right click and print
>>> the report.  It would be great if Paul would allow the user to right
>>> click on this report and create an ADIF file for submission to the
>>> ARRL.  Unfortunately, you cannot create the ADIF file at this point.
>>> So save the report that you just printed out and move on to Step 4.
>>>
>>> 4.  Go back to the main QSO entry screen and press F5 several times
>>> until the Award boxes appear at the bottom of the window.  Then hit F8
>>> and click on the Mixed box under DXCC and select S (for submission).
>>> Then click on File in the upper left on DX4WIN and select
>>> Import/Export.  Select ADIF and then File again in the smaller window
>>> and Export.  It should prompt you with a warning that you are running
>>> a Filter, say yes that you want to export using the filter.  Name the
>>> file something like yourcall mixed.  You have just created an ADIF
>>> file for all QSOs eligible for DXCC Mixed credit.  You have to repeat
>>> this process two more times -- after doing a F8 fileter for DXCC Band
>>> and then a filter for DXCC Mode.  You should end up with three ADIF
>>> files named yourcall mixed, yourcall band and yourcall mode.  Remember
>>> where you saved these ADIF files.
>>>
>>> 5.  Finally, go to the ARRL website and log into the online DXCC
>>> submission page.  I can't remember the exact navigation within the
>>> submission pages, but in essence you are simply going to import the
>>> three ADIF files one at a time.  The DXCC online form allows you to
>>> import multiple ADIF files into the form.  Very easy.  When you get
>>> done, you should click on the View Submission button and compare all
>>> the listed QSOs in this report to the DX4WIN Submission report that
>>> you printed out in Step 3.  When I did this, my online report matched
>>> the DXCC Submission report exactly.  I then merely had to sort my
>>> cards to appear in the order as presented in the online submission
>>> form and then complete the submission.  I took all of my cards to my
>>> local DXCC card checker.
>>>
>>> This process is a bit complicated and requires some advanced knowledge
>>> of DX4WIN.  Paul could make this whole process a snap by allowin
