Re: [Dx4win] Importing .adi files and converting them to DXL file format
Jim, In addition to what Mike and Paul said: If you want more selection choices and/or possibly more fields filled into DX4WIN from LOTW, you might want to try K1MU's site at https://www.rickmurphy.net/lotwquery.htm. It shows a full screen of parameters you can fill in to narrow what it downloads for you (you can just hit SUBMIT if you like). It will also create a lowreport.adi (or lotwreport (x).adi) file in your default download area. Once you run the query and a lotwreport.adi file is created, I would suggest creating a NEW .DXL file (with a unique name) in DX4WIN and import the lotwreport.adi file into it. At any time, you can click File -> Info to get a summary of information about your log (Number of QSOs, number of comments,etc). In case you haven't discovered it yet, DX4WIN has a very cool "filter" feature. When you are in the QSO window hit . A screen like the QSO screen will appear with no data filled in. For instance if you wanted to find all QSOs in AK, simply enter "AK" (no quotes) in the state field and hit . You can PgDn or PgUP to go through the selected QSOs. If you want to see if you worked a certain call before, hit F8 and enter the call in question, then hit . I have made a spreadsheet that shows what fields may be in the downloaded lotwreport.adi file depending on which of the 4 boxes you check on the K1MU screen. If you (or anyone) want a copy of the spreadsheet, send me an email (offline) and I'll send it to you as an attachment (if I can get it past the restrictions with email attachments). 73, Lee N7NU > On 11/05/2022 12:04 PM Jim Pyle wrote: > > > FYI, I'm a new user trying to get DX4WIN up and running.

Yes, of course! I should have figured that one out. 73, Mike Cizek W0VTT On Sat, Nov 5, 2022, 15:35 Paul van der Eijk wrote: > Mike, he should do a straight import into a new log.

Re: [Dx4win] Importing .adi files and converting them to DXL file format
Mike, he should do a straight import into a new log. Confirming QSOs does that for existing QSOs . Or do both if some QSOs were recovered already. —Paul On Sat, Nov 5, 2022 at 8:33 PM Mike Cizek WØVTT wrote: > Hello Jim, > > For LoTW QSOs, log in to your LoTW account; Your QSOs tab; Download Report > (at the far right).

Re: [Dx4win] Importing .adi files and converting them to DXL file format
Hello Jim, For LoTW QSOs, log in to your LoTW account; Your QSOs tab; Download Report (at the far right). Select a date that you think is earlier than your first QSO, to make sure you get them all. I would also select "Include QSL Details" and "Include QSO Station Details". Download Report. In dx4win, in the QSO window: LoTW, Confirm LoTW using ADIF file, and import the file you just downloaded. For WSJT, use File , Import/Export , ADIF , Import , and navigate to and select the wsjtx_log-adi file. Save everything. Make a backup copy of your AA8OY.DXL file and save it somewhere other than the internal HDD on your computer. (USB drive, cloud, etc) To upload to LoTW, you must do that through TQSL. Download and install TQSL from the LoTW web site (if you haven't already done so). Make sure your callsign certificate is current and you have a station location set up. Back in dx4win, in the QSO window: LoTW , Export to LoTW. Save the adi file. Open TQSL, import and upload the file you just created in dx4win. That's it. It may seem like a lot of steps, but once you get the hang of it, the entire process takes less than a minute. LoTW, TQSL, and dx4win all remember when you last uploaded and downloaded, for for future operations, will only upload and down load new QSOs. 73, Mike Cizek W0VTT On Sat, Nov 5, 2022, 14:07 Jim Pyle wrote: > FYI, I'm a new user trying to get DX4WIN up and running.

[Dx4win] Importing .adi files and converting them to DXL file format
FYI, I'm a new user trying to get DX4WIN up and running. Following a computer failure, I've been looking at ways to recover my log file QSOs. With the help of others, a number of recovery efforts were made which were only partially successful. I'm ready to try to download my LOTW.adi file and convert it to a DXL file which is readable by DX4WIN. Can someone walk me through the conversion process? I also want to merge WSJT .adi files into my main log. I assume it would be the same as the LOTW conversion. Last and also important to me is uploading QSOs to LOTW. It is not clear to me how to make a selection and then submit it to LOTW. I haven't found the instructions for this. Input from the reflector would be greatly appreciated.
