Sorry, Bill. The instructions are unclear. I'll fix the web just after I hit the SEND button.
There is a "Format" selection box in the program (DX4WIN6 or DX4WIN8). The default is DX4WIN8, so you have to import using that format. If you change it to DX4WIN6 (because you're using an older version of DX4WIN), then you have import in that format. 73 - Jim AD1C On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 10:53 AM, Bill Barr, N4NX <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok, what did I do wrong? > > I downloaded Jim's latest conversion tool and tested it on a previous contest > ( ARRL RTTY ROUNDUP 2010 ).
