I wish I could help you, Dick. I have the same problem. Most of the 35K QSOs in my DX4Win database are imports from CT, TR and Writelog contest logs. For CT and TR I use logconvert to convert to ADIF. For Writelog I used its own ADIF generation function. Then I import the ADIF using DX4W. Most of the resulting records have loads of extraneous info in the Notes for This Call field. Much of it never appeared in any field of the original logs. It must be coming from some kind of global database that DX4Win sucks in without provocation. I've asked before on this reflector but never received a coherent response. Since all I use DX4Win for is replying to received QSLs, it works for me. But it seems to be useless as a general logger because of all this random garbage it keeps jamming in that field. I wanted to use it as my daily logger but I've fallen back to Writelog for that.

DX4WIN does not have any such "global database". Note for this Call append if there is additional/new information in the log you are importing. For example, if your log has "Jim" listed under AD1C, and the ADIF file to be imported has "JIM" in the notes field, then the resulting DX4WIN note will look like: Jim | JIM I can assure you that if you had used C2A (CT to ADIF) from the K1EA web site, the notes would have remained unchanged, since it doesn't write to any notes or comment field (except if you ask for special treatment, like SS exchange, etc.). My suspicion is that LogConvert is creating these notes. Have you ever looked at the ADIF file to see what's in it before you imported it? If you can give me a sample .DXL and .ADI file that demonstrates a problem, I would be happy to work with you to help you understand/resolve it. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat May 14 17:48:17 2005 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Alan Zack) Date: Sat May 14 17:57:02 2005 Subject: [Dx4win] Deleting QSO's In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks Cesar, That did it except since all the incorrect QSO's were in one Group Number I used the Group Number instead of date range in the PREFERENCES. But I had not figured out that I needed to use the PREFERENCES to select the QSO's to be deleted until you pointed it out so that info really helped. I held my breath until the message popped up, "You are about to delete 1243 QSO's". Since this figure exactly matched the entries in the CT Contest log I knew I was OK. I use the little USB memory sticks for back up saves. I saved the virgin log onto two of these just to be safe! Thanks again (P.S. I am in your many DXpedition and Contest logs as K6ACZ before I moved here). 73 PY2YP wrote: > Hi Alan, > > Please do as follow: > > 1. Do a backup copying the .DXL file into a disk; > 2.
