I just realized what might be your problem - if your system is set up 
to open ADIF files using WriteLog, there may be some problem with 
WriteLog not acepting the output from DX4WIN. That's not important - 
try loading it into TQSL and see if it's accepted. Don't worry whether 
DX4WIN's output is acceptable to WriteLog as it's only important if 
TQSL accepts it.
