I am willing to improve the tool as needed: just send me the ADIF text and a description of what does not work properly. It works for me (ADIF produced by DXkeeper), but I am sure many adjustments will be required to handle the files generated by other logging software. So I decided to write a converter that will at least save me the manual entry of the QSO’s of my future activations.Īs the work to write the program for local use and the the work to put it on-line were nearly equivalent, I published it on

Searching for a ready-made converter only gave me “404 not found errors”. Having finally managed that, I discovered that the upload of the logs to the SOTA database requires yet another format. While I enjoy experimenting with the station set-up, and making the contacts, I really did not like to spend the remaining of my week-end wrestling with the related administration: reading my awful handwriting (even when my hands are not frozen as they were on site) to input the QSO’s in my logging software, guessing the times I had not written down during the QSO’s, uploading the relevant records with a new call (these are my first QSO’s logged as ON6ZQ/P), to eQSL (with an “attached” callsign), and Lotw (with the required new certificate). After my very first activation this Saturday on a very accessible summit (ON/ON-027), I already learned many lessons for my future activations.

Also no ADIF = 1000 which gives CLUBLOG for INVALID ( ie not accepted by the ARRL) QSOs will be replaced as No ADIF = 0. ADIF = 999 ( MARITIME MOBILE) and 998 ( MOBILE AIRCRAFT) are replaced with NR_ADIF (DXCC) = 0 because any logger can accept this value. In a input this file can be present up to 39 custom fields not standard to ADIF

In the resulting file of ADIF are present all the ADIF fields which are in the file input, even if their name is not standard name ADIF. Will convert the input file mylog.csv to mylog.adif and store it in the current working directory. This correction is also do in all my programs. The program in addition do correction field QSL_via to the form such as that in suitable for placement on the QSL card - even if there are inscribed 'stupidity' - permitted by QRZ.COM. The file is saved with the name of the input file after the addition of the suffix TRANSLATED + current date. Now you can save result file when you press button. After saving in a such ADIF format, you can again make a saving in the CSV format. CSV - only selected fields - after editing in a text editor file NameAdifFields_PRESENT_IN_ADIFile.txt, saving only fields that only you need in your database.īefore saving data, choose the appropriate format.
