[Dx4win] Converting DXQ to ADIF Files

Hi, Paul.

I apologize for not being clear.  I already have correctly populated 
FREQ fields and "Rx=nn,nnnkHz"-populated NOTES fields.  When converting 
a typical QSO to ADIF, these will result in "<FREQ:8>tt.ttttt" for 
transmit frequencies and "<NOTES:12>Rx=rr,rrrkHz" for receive 
frequencies.  These NOTES fields are not ADIF-compliant for receive 
frequencies.

The proper ADIF format for the above receive frequency should be 
"<FREQ_RX:8>rr.rrrrr"  Let me give a sample from my log:

<QSO_DATE:8:d>19990109 <TIME_ON:6>163900 <CALL:5>AB7WZ <FREQ:8>1 4.26000
<PFX:3>AB7 <DXCC:3>291 <CONT:2>NA <MODE:3>SSB <BAND:3>80m <RST_SENT:2>59
<RST_RCVD:2>59 <CQZ:1>3 <STATE:2>NV <QSL_RCVD:1>N <LOTW_QSL_SENT:1>Y
<LOTW_QSLSDATE:8:d>20030923 <NAME:3>Bob
<NOTES:28>Rx=14,255kHz Nevada ARES Net <EOR>

The entry, paying attention to the last line, should be:

<QSO_DATE:8:d>19990109 <TIME_ON:6>163900 <CALL:5>AB7WZ <FREQ:8>14.26000
<PFX:3>AB7 <DXCC:3>291 <CONT:2>NA <MODE:3>SSB <BAND:3>80m <RST_SENT:2>59
<RST_RCVD:2>59 <CQZ:1>3 <STATE:2>NV <QSL_RCVD:1>N <LOTW_QSL_SENT:1>Y
<LOTW_QSLSDATE:8:d>20030923 <NAME:3>Bob
<FREQ_RX:8>14.25500 <NOTES:15>Nevada ARES Net <EOR>

I am looking for a utility that will convert the first entry to the 
second so I can transfer it to an ADIF-compliant application.  I hope I 
have done a better job explaining what I am looking for.

Dick
