[Dx4win] Export DX4WIN Log To WSJT-X

[David Kozinn, K2DBK]

The WSJT-X manual says this:

The log file|wsjtx_log.adi|is updated whenever you log a QSO 
from/WSJT-X/. (Keep in mind that if you erase this file you will lose 
all “worked before” information.) You can append or overwrite 
the|wsjtx_log.adi|file by exporting your QSO history as an ADIF file 
from another logging program. Turning*Show DXCC entity and worked before 
status*off and then on again will cause/WSJT-X/to re-read the log file. 
Very large log files may cause/WSJT-X/to slow down when searching for calls.

So, you could just export your log as ADIF from DX4WIN using 
File->Import/Export then overwrite or combine it with what's in 
wsjt_log.adi.

A better alternative (recommended in the WSJT-X documentation) would be 
to use JT-AlertX (available at http://hamapps.com/). That has a lot more 
alerting features, and I think there's a way that you can have it do a 
one-time scan of any log file to "catch up". You can find more 
information about that at the website I mentioned.

I use JTAlertX myself, but I intentionally didn't "pre-load" as I want 
it to tell me about any country that I haven't worked on FT8, which of 
course would pick up an ATNO or anything else I needed, which is why I'm 
not 100% sure how to "pre-load" what you've worked already.
