Hi Shelby,
I am sorry to hear about your brother-in-law. Yes, I have literally imported thousands of times from WSJT-X into DX4WIN from two different computers. I know the drill, but it still is not easy to explain to a newbie. More importantly, we need UDP Broadcast so that QSOs are imported immediately. As I keep mentioning, when you are being called by twenty EU stations during an opening on 6M, you really do not have time to stop and import. But there are reasons I want to see the QSO in DX4WIN—to see if the QSO is a new country, send a Spot, verify a callsign using the QRZ.COM XML interface, etc. FT4 is even faster and all the more reason for real-time updates to DX4WIN. As you can tell, I would very much like Paul to respond to this request. These new digital modes are fast and would match nicely with the built in speed of DX4WIN – but we need UDP broadcast support to make that happen. 73, Dave, N4QS From: ShelbyK4WW <shelbyk...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2019 4:31 PM To: N4QS <n...@vci.net> Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Fwd: WSJT to DX4WIN "So now all you can do is manually import the logfile from WSJT-X into DX4WIN.

I simply click on file, then open log directory, then wsjt-s log. I manually import all FTx contacts this way, as I don't have DX4WIN on my contest computer, personal choice. Every contact is manually imported from contest computer to computer with DX4WIN. Probably more time consuming, but I'm retired. BTW...my brother-in-law passed the Friday before I had planned on attending my High School reunion, and I didn't make the trip On Tue, Oct 15, 2019 at 3:34 PM <n...@vci.net <mailto:n...@vci.net> > wrote: Hello Raymundo, Unfortunately, there is not an easy way to import your logged QSOs from WSJT-X into DX4WIN. We have asked Paul to consider adding UDP broadcast support to DX4WIN, so that once a QSO is logged within WSJT-X it would also automatically be logged in DX4WIN. But Paul has not responded to this request -- even though most other logging programs already support UDP. So now all you can do is manually import the logfile from WSJT-X into DX4WIN. This is not as easy as it sounds because the WSJT-X logfile is hidden in an obscure folder within Windows. I have shortened the search process by mapping a drive in Windows to the folder within WSJT-X so that I can find the file faster. But it is still not ideal. We need UDP support. To manually import the log file from WSJT-X, go to File in DX4WIN, then Import/Export, make sure ADIF is the file type selected, in the smaller window select File again, Import and then go find the logfile for WSJT-X. Select the logfile and either double click or click on Open. You will see a new window for "Options for duplicate QSOs", and make sure "that Imported QSO is ignored" is the one appearing in the drop down menu. You want DX4WIN to ignore all duplicates as it imports the log from WSJT-X. Click OK and you are done. I have over 6,500 FT8 QSOs and 1,300 FT4 QSOs in my log and they all have been imported that way. The manual import of the logfile is very time consuming and laborious, and can be a real problem when you are in the middle of a big opening on 6 meters into EU. DX4WIN is an excellent logging problem except for this one glaring weakness. Now all you can do is manually import the WSJT-X logfile over and over and over... I hope this helps. 73, Dave, N4QS -----Original Message----- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net <mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net> <dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net <mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net> > On Behalf Of Raymundo Rodriguez Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2019 2:08 PM To: dx4win list <dx4win@mailman.qth.net <mailto:dx4win@mailman.qth.net> > Subject: [Dx4win] Fwd: WSJT to DX4WIN Dear friends, I have my DX4WIN updated and I am starting to operate FT8 with Joe Taylor's WSJT software but I need to incorporate my WSJT log contacts to my permanent DX4WIN Log so I would appreciate if possible provide me with the instructions I must follow to achieve Incorporate them, I will be highly grateful for your support in completing this task.
