Please note that QSO entries in an ADIF file don't remain unchanged
after the end of the QSO. The most important changes are the insertion
of the received confirmations (paper QSL cards, LoTW, eQSL). But some
other additions are not unusual, e.g. QSL_VIA and QSL_SENT. In my
opinion, having a log file for every day make it more difficult to
perform such insertions. Further, if you want to filter the log in order
to find possible confirmations for an award, multiple files make the job
harder.

At my station, when using WSJT-X and after every QSO, I filter out the
last entry of the log file and I add an ADIF header. Then I send this
miniaturized ADIF file to eQSL using "curl". For this purpose, I use an
very simple batch file. This is similar to the behaviour which can be
enabled in fldigi, but which is absent in WSJT-X. Of course, the sent
QSO record in the ADIF file is then only the current state of this
record. Further additions and changes will probably occur in the locally
saved file at a later time in order to make the state current.

Best wishes,
Claude (DJ0OT)
