[Dx4win] ADIF

[Dwayne]

Dwayne here (ve6qx)..... I think I got it ???  I had two diff. logs saved in 
the save folder of Dx4win, so I renamed one of them..  Now there is just one 
named Ve6qx.DXL ...   The other one was ve6qx bug.DXL which is renamed to 
just Bug..  Ok that just leaves one with ve6qx which is the log I want to 
make a ADIF for arrl es TQSL.. So that should make things easier ????
  No prob. if you guys are getting big headache,, I understand....
  We are getting closer, I think I can see the light at the end of the 
tunnel

Hi Dwayne
Agree with all said so far, just don't write a file extension name .dxl or 
.adf etc, ONLY the name of the file and the program will create an ADIF file 
for uploading

Dwayne,

LoTW menu. Export to LoTW.
You should then get a file selector window with "Select the ADIF file to
write to".
Choose a name like "VE6QX-October-2-2014". That will give you an ADIF file
that you can sign with TQSL.

It sounds like you're saving the log records to VE6QX.DXL, which is a very
bad idea as it will over-write your log.
