Peter, You can use Eric's suggestion to modify your contest .adi file before you import it into DXbase. This way, the power field will get populated. Don't know why your contest doesn't export the power field, but Eric's suggestion will add it to the .adi so that DXbase will see it and use it.

Using Notepad as the editor, search and replace: <EOR> with <TX_PWR:4>1500 <EOR> Now import the edited ADIF file back into DXB again. I use the above to add power to my imported contest files all the time. Not sure why it would not work with the date range your wish to change. --- I am sure you will back up your data file before experimenting. 73 Eric - VE3GSI.... > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Dougherty > Sent: March 2, 2008 10:16 PM > > Hi all, > > I'm trying to add a lot of data to the database directly and not sure > how to go about doing it. > > I do a lot of DX contests and import all my contest logs via ADIF. > While the data comes across without a problem, what doesn't get > imported is the power setting.
