[Dx4win] paper log entry and conversion .XLS to .ADIF format

[David Christ]

Basic Log as found on the ARRL web site is actually a spreadsheet but is set up to capture QSO data.  Works well if you need to do that kind of thing.  Gives you an ADIF file if you want.

Instructions:
<http://www.arrl.org/files/file/LoTW%2520Resources/Instructions%2520for%2520BasicLog%2520(2).pdf>

Spreadsheet

Actually works pretty well if you have to enter paper logs
