[Dx4win] Converting DXQ to ADIF Files

[John Shaw]

You could do something like this in notepad using edit/replace.  Put
<NOTES:28>Rx=14, in the find what box and <FREQ_RX:8>14. in the replace box.
If there are different bands and the number up to the comma and total number
of characters changes then you will have to repeat the process with the
appropriate characters in the edit/replace boxes for each band.  Its
actually not hard to do.

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
