I have printouts of old, pre-DX4win logs of los of satellite QSOs that I
want to add to my DX4Win logs. My thought is to scan the logs and save
them as text or comma delimited files.
My questions are:
- how to get them into DX4win and properly designating the proper fields
- how to generate a proper ADIF file as per LoTW rules. Note that
satellite QSO have to be treated differently. LoTW uses the following
fields that I do not believe are supported by DX4Win directly or
correctly in the creation of ADIF files:
<BAND> -- the uplink band
<PROP_MODE> -- various vhf/uhf modes. in this case it would be SAT
<BAND_RX> -- the downlink band
<SAT_NAME> -- the satellite name. Note that LoTW has specified th names.
I've seen a minimalist Excel spreadsheet (author?) for inputting QSOs and
dreating an SDIF file in lieu of a logbook, but it didn't have the fields
I need and I'm no programmer to modify it!
Any help is greatly (!) appreciated
Thanks and 73,
