[Dxbase] BUG in the Non-DXB Import (Import.exe) Program - NEW FORMAT from LOTW downloads

[Paul Smith]

The best way is for Neal to update the program so it works with the correct new format standard, instead of the users having to come up with work arounds.

Joe,
Another way to fix the problem would be to have a program that converts the new LoTW ADI to the old format.

 Just FYI to all,


I have been made aware that there might be an OOPS!!  when it

comes to downloading an ADI file from LOTW - and the COUNTY information...


YES!!  There is a conflict NOW -- since LOTW adi file now is FORMATTED

totally different than it ever has been before..  With this conflict,  the COUNTY

information from the LOTW file is NOT IMPORTED..  You will see BUNCHES  of

Warnings in the Error file.


The Non-DXB Import Program  (Import.exe) will have to be modified so that

it can find the correct information...  Here is a SAMPLE QSO (from my LOTW download)

that SHOWS the NEW FORMAT for the STATE and COUNTY  info:


<APP_LoTW_OWNCALL:6>WA6AXE
<STATION_CALLSIGN:6>WA6AXE
<CALL:4>KH7X
<BAND:3>40M
<FREQ:7>7.24200
<MODE:3>SSB
<APP_LoTW_MODEGROUP:5>PHONE
<QSO_DATE:8>20050305
<TIME_ON:6>082000
<QSL_RCVD:1>Y
<QSLRDATE:8>20090501
<DXCC:3>110
<COUNTRY:6>HAWAII
<APP_LoTW_DXCC_ENTITY_STATUS:7>Current
<APP_LoTW_2xQSL:1>Y
<CQZ:2>31
<ITUZ:2>61
<GRIDSQUARE:6>BL01XP
<STATE:2>HI // Hawaii
<CNTY:11>HI,HONOLULU // Honolulu
<eor>



For the sake of my AutoLOTW program -- I am going to in the next few days, go

into the coding and try to make it so that the COUNTY info will be seen correctly.


As far as the DXbase Non-DXB Import -- an update will have to come from Neal ...


Just FYI
