I have been working on entering paper logs in to my computer. I have the first two logs done and I found two problems.
One, Fast Log Entry does not set DXBVAL=3. DXbase uses that to indicate the contact is valid for DXCC. If that program is used a lot of manual work will be needed after the import. W3SB's excel spreadsheet does set DXBVAL, so it is better to use with DXbase.
Second my old logs are not all in GMT or UTC. I have been working on a C++ program that will help me with automatically converting the local time to UTC. I have the date conversion working but still have work to do.
