Mel I don't think it is small errors that caused the problem I reported; it was DX4Win log interpreting , say TK0KP/SAN as Corsica as displayed; and the ADIF export interpreting it as the ADIF code for Sweden.
I checked it with the ADIF web page; so I understand what is screwed, but not how it got into that state ! I am not sure of the effects of the ADIF.PMP file; I am wondering if I ended up with a mismatch of CTY and PMP somehow; but I will zip and send the files to Jim as soon as I can - have guests at the mo; about to eat ! 73 Dave G3NKC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Mel Sent: 28 December 2009 16:23 To: Jim Reisert AD1C; DX4WIN Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Strange errors in ADIF export It appears that ADIF has changed some of it's numerical codes in the last couple of years. When I attempted to do a reconciliation a while back (last couple of years) there were some entities that definitely did not match. I did some research at the time. When I checked, the ARRL numbers and ADIF numbers were off in a few cases. There were a couple of codes over 500 that did not match and perhaps Palestine. The explanation I was given at the time was that, since the ADIF numbers were assigned first, the ADIF number was the best guess as to what the ARRL would use since they didn't assign provisional numbers. Perhaps ARRL/ADIF has come to an understanding in the meantime... or maybe ADIF just changed the numbers after the fact.

I do not believe what you say is true. ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
