Hi Jim, Is this program the same as wl2dx4win.exe? If so I use it all the time. My version is from 2005 but I forget where I got it from. If yours is different then an updated one would be useful.
BTW I went to the revealing of the 2009 TL last night in Toronto. Quite a show and a nice update to the TL although now it is much like the 2009 RL. Also bought a dSLR this summer, the Canon Xsi. I'm having great fun with that. Hope all is well at your new QTH and thanks for the 20m contact in the CQWW RTTY. 73, Don VE3XD -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Reisert AD1C Sent: October-02-08 5:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dx4win] Writelog to DX4WIN log conversion For a few years now, I have been working on a tool to convert Writelog logs to DX4WIN. More on the features later. The main reason I wrote it was that I don't like the way DX4WIN imports ADIF files: - it puts "Freq=" in the "Notes for this QSO" field, which makes the QSOs look "different" than non-contest QSOs (i.e. when you have Contest Mode enabled in DX4WIN) - it puts the sent serial number into that same field (even when the contest doesn't have serial numbers, like ARRL FD) - it doesn't put some data in the Recvd field which you might put there if you were using DX4WIN to log the contest, like Class (2A, 1D, etc.) in ARRL Field Day. I mostly use Writelog for RTTY contests, but plan to use it more for other CW/SSB contests. Now onto the program features: - it's Windows GUI based. It's just a .EXE file, it does not use the Windows installer - it inputs the ADIF file that you export from Writelog - it outputs a .DXQ file which DX4WIN can import in DX4WIN6 format - it supports (converts) these contests: BARTG BARTG_SPRINT CAQP CQWW FD (ARRL Field Day) JARTS NAQP NA_SPRINT RU (ARRL RTTY Round-up) SS (ARRL Sweepstakes) WAE WPX Notice these are mostly RTTY contests. If the rules are exactly the same for non-RTTY, then that conversion should work. - CAQP is the only contest so far that automatically converts the CA county abbreviations to actual county names compatible with DX4WIN. I plan to use Writelog this weekend in the contest. Caveats: - I've only tested with Writelog 10.68. I don't know if the APP_WRITELOG fields in the Writelog ADIF file are the same for all versions of Writelog. They also might be different if a contest has different modes, i.e. CQWW CW/SSB and CQWW RTTY. - If the contest has names (like NAQP), importing the converted log may duplicate the name in the "Notes for this Call" field, i.e. Jim/Jim. This might be true any time you import a log into DX4WIN. - There may be a program like this already out there that I'm unaware of. If there's interest, I can make this program publicly available on an "as-is" basis. I'll fix bugs and take feature requests, but implementing them will be at my whim. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C/Ø, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
