[Dxbase] FT8 and LOTW

[k4wa at yahoo.com]

Is there anything special that needs to be done in DXBase to upload FT8 contacts?  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?

Thanks, and 73,
