[Dx4win] 160 contest submissions from DX4WIN

[Larry Gauthier (K8UT)]

Mark,

As you have discovered, DX4WIN is great for its intended purpose -- chasing 
DX -- but not great as a Contest package. Although I have also used it for 
lightweight contesting, it neither tracks your contest score nor prepares 
the appropriate extract (usually Cabrillo) file for submission. Your have 3 
alternatives at this point: 1) install a Cabrillo conversion program and try 
to get it to work with the DX4WIN ADIF export file [didn't work for me... 
conflict between ADIF formats]; 2) Install a contest program that will 
import ADIF and export Cabrillo... and read your DX4WIN records into it; or 
3) Accept the generous offer from another ham to do the conversion for you 
[which is the route I took several times! ;-].

As my level of contesting increased, I recently reached the inevitable point 
of using a real contesting program for contest activities. In my case, N1MM 
for contesting and DX4WIN for DX'ing. However, DX4WIN will continue to be 
the "center of the universe" for my ham radio log. This means that at the 
end of this weekend's contest I exported from N1MM to Cabrillo for 
submission; and exported to ADIF for import into DX4WIN.
