[Dx4win] FW: USING FT8

[PY2YP]

Here it goes again:

===========
The following procedure might interest to someone, so here it goes. I 
use to log all my FT8 QSOs as JT65A because of my log software does not 
have FT8 on it, besides I've never worked any QSO on this mode. In order 
to upload the FT8 QSOs properly, logged as JT65A, I create a mapping on 
the TQSL that will change the JT65A to FT8 and then upload it without 
having to change the ADIF file. Mapping means changing the ADIF on the 
fly, so no other action will be required.

To modify the TQSL open it and go to FILE | DISPLAY OR MODIFY 
PREFERENCES, next open ADIF Modes tab and press Add... scroll down the 
Resulting TQSL mode window and find out FT8, click once over it and type 
JT65A into the ADIF Mode box now press OK and it's done.
This procedure may be needed again in case of either TQSL update or new 
configuration file.
