Hi Carl,

The bottom line is that EVERYONE chose a different way log name/QTH in
the old versions.  Paul tried his best to make the conversion work for
all anticipated formats, but he couldn't anticipate everything.  The
important thing is that Name and/or QTH must have been in the "Notes
for this Call" field and *not* in the "Notes for this QSO" field.  The
conversion only works on the callsign notes.

If you want, send me your .original .DXL file (from version 6) and
I'll see if there's anything I can tweak to improve your conversion
rate.

p.s. I prefer to answer questions sent to the reflector, rather than
to me personally. The answer (posted to the reflector) can then help
everyone.
