[Dx4win] Submitting ADIF file for card-only DXCC application

Mon Dec 31 17:30:24 EST 2012

Yes, it works very well; I did exactly you write a few days ago. I 
wonder if there is any way to mix together the mode and band ADIF files 
but I can upload the files separetly without any problem. I also have 
some misunderstanding how the ARRL online application does sort the 
application. I did try sorting the ADIF file either by call or by date 
and got the same result from the site, I think the site application has 
its own default, am I right?

HNY to all.
