Actually he can use the "Trusted QSL" program (which is needed anyway
to sign the LOTW entries) to enter the contacts. It's a two-step
process in that you first need to enter the data and create ADIF file
after which you sign the file to create the .tq8 file which is then
uploaded to the LOTW web site. I used that method to enter several
years of paper logs I had from before I switched to computer
logging. Trusted QSL is freeware and is available for Windows,
Macintosh and Linux computers at <http://www.arrl.org/lotw/#download>.

Good morning,
A friend of mine, who has been loosing his sight for a few years is
now
termed as "Legally Blind", although he can see and use his computer
with the
aid of a magnifying glass.
He wants to put his logs on Logbook of The World, but has never had a
computer logging program that he entered his contacts in. This
means he
needs to enter the contacts into a logging program that is
compatible with
the format required by LoTW... I believe either the adif or the
cabrillo
format is acceptable.
I have initiated the paperwork needed to get him started and he
says he is
able to make the entries from his paper logs into a logging program.
What we need is a simple logging program... Doesn't have to be able
to track
awards or anything else, just a basic program that will allow him
ease of
use and the ability to interact with LoTW. It needs to be either in a
format acceptable to LoTW or one that has a conversion program with
it that
will convert it to an acceptable format.
Does anyone know of a shareware or reasonably priced simple program
I can
download and install on his computer so he can start making his
entries.
Thank you... Please answer off line to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
