The new LoTW down load file has extra information after the CNTY text. In the example below the text data is ?HI,HONOLULU?, eleven characters long. The extra characters are ?// Honolulu?. The Non-DXB Import Program should ignore these extra characters. HI,HONOLULU // Honolulu The ADIF Specification has this statement ?Characters outside QSO-Data-Specifiers and outside End-of-Record tags are ignored?. I wrote a simple command line program that reads an ADIF file and writes a new one. Most of the file is not changed. The lines that have ?//? are modified. The program deletes the ?//? and all characters after that within that line of text. ? I down loaded all my new contacts for 2018 and when I did a test import there were 16 warnings. Like this one. Warning: County? N1UZ 20180107 234543 3598.00 80m? RTTY?? MA WORCESTER // WORCESTER I ran my program on the ADIF file and did the import with the new file. All the warnings were gone. I checked the counties in the log and they were all correct. Before the import the county data was blank for all these contacts.

Both sites have beam antennas plus four K3s and SPE 1.3KW amps. Olli, OH0XX has been testing the propagation over the past two days with good -- but narrow -- U.S openings. An international team has been invited to Kosovo and is partially on the ground at this time. The team consists of DL3DXX, OH0XX, OH1MA, OH2BH, OH3JR, OZ1IKY, S50A and S51F, along with locals Z61DX, Z61FF, Z61VB, Z62FB and Z63DBB. Additional locals are behind this activity as well, and a new 2nd week team will be announced soon. Jim, K9JF, ARRL Hon. Vice-President and Hans, PB2T, IARU R1 secretary will add to the party. The ARRL Rocky Mountain Division director, Dwayne Allen, WY7FD has informed the team that the LoTW and the other ARRL structures are being put into place to receive this new DXCC country contacts. Already, "Republic of Kosovo" is listed in the DXCC Challenge pages. ClubLog will be used for this activation, while QSLs will go via OH2BH . dave k4em From k4em at bellsouth.net Tue Jan 23 11:25:49 2018 From: k4em at bellsouth.net (Dave) Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 11:25:49 -0500 Subject: [Dxbase] Z6 Update for DXBase In-Reply-To: References: <005701d39462$9f4484d0$ddcd8e70$@net> Message-ID: <006001d39466$d5616020$80242060$@net> Martii OH2BH qrz page has some up to date info on Kosovo and some other interesting things.

I note DXBase does not have the proper format for FT8 signal reports, and some contacts (especially DXpeditions) don?t include grid squares, so absent those, there?s no actual evidence of exchanging information. Would it be better to upload FT8 contacts to LOTW from the wsjt-x adif file, or can it be done successfully from a DXBase adif?

You just can not see the info .. BUT it IS THERE!! SO, if you use the DXbase2007 adi file export to make the adi file -- the DXbase2007 adi file WILL contain the FT8 signal report !!! (2) If the wsjtx_log.adi file contained a GRID SQUARE - that Grid Square will be imported - when you use the Non-DXB Import program. ** IF you are typing-in the info for each QSO manually into DXbase2007, YES - there is NO WAY to type-in manually the FT8 signal report into the RSTS and RSTR field in your logbook.. If this is the case, then YES - the best way would be to use the FT8 adi file to upload to LOTW. 73 Joe wa6axe Joseph Glockner wa6axe at verizon.net -----Original Message----- From: Steven Schmidt via Dxbase To: dxbase Sent: Thu, Jan 25, 2018 7:37 am Subject: [Dxbase] FT8 and LOTW Is there anything special that needs to be done in DXBase to upload FT8 contacts?

This callsign will default to France(F) because of the Alias Map table mapping. This callsign is not currently MAPPED in the CALLMAP table -- so, if you want, simply make a dummy QSO with this callsign and change the PREFIX column of your logbook mdb file to FO and then when the pop-up asks you if you want to save this TX5X mapped to FO -- say YES/OK ---- Then delete that dummy QSO ..
