[Dx4win] ? Recommendations for log conversion to DX4WN

Sun, 24 Feb 2002 14:02:12 -0600

Converting writelog adif is not straightforward as it should be.  For the 10
meter contest, I had to add a new import filter to get the state in the
correct place, the exchange in the recvd block and the frequency in the
comments.  Seems like that is true for every contest log.

Making the filters is easy (takes 5 minutes)and you can put any field from
the Writelog fields into any desired field in DX4WIN.  I will be glad to
send you the 10 meter Writelog filter for DX4WIN conversion, but have not
found an easy way to get it out of the DX4WIN.iep file.  I don't think new
filters that you add are carried forward when you upgrade DX4WIN to a new
version.

This is the information in the help file for the Writelog import:

"WriteLog

In WriteLog, export your log as a 'Comma delimited ASCII' file with the file
extension  'txt' (see File | Save as ...). Depending on the kind of contest
you logged, additional fields, such as RST and zone may be available for
import. The import filter as supplied only imports the minimal amount of
information. To import additional fields, the filter can be copied, and
those fields added. Also copy the files writelog.pro (add necessary fields)
and the file writelog.bat using the same name as the name of the new
filter."
