I could use some help with the ARRL Mac LoTW tsql program. I was under the
impression from the LoTW web page that they would accept Cabrillo or ADIF
format.
My AA5VU.log file from the UK-DX-RTTY contest is in Cabrillo format and the
file format was accepted by the UK-DX robot.
I tried and tqsl barfed on the the first line of my file so I figured it did
not like the headers. It crapped out with a error note that it did not like
one of the header saying "CONTEST" and quit. I then opened file with BBEdit
and deleted the administrative headers and END OF FILE thing at the bottom
so the file only contained the QSO information
I then opened tqsl.app version 1.11 and used the File "Sign existing ADIF or
Cabrillo file" menu item. It found the file and ask me to give it a new file
name and I entered UK-DX.ts8 and hit Save. It came back with dialog box
asking me to Confirm the signed and clicked YES. This is where I ran into
trouble. It came back with a note saying "No records output" and the file
was NOT saved.
I must be doing something wrong and could use some help
