The best way is for Neal to update the program so it works with the correct new
format standard, instead of the users having to come up with work arounds.

Subject: Re: [Dxbase] BUG in the Non-DXB Import (Import.exe) Program - NEW
FORMAT from LOTW downloads
Joe,
Another way to fix the problem would be to have a program that converts the new
LoTW ADI to the old format.

Just FYI to all,
I have been made aware that there might be an OOPS!! when it
comes to downloading an ADI file from LOTW - and the COUNTY information...
YES!! There is a conflict NOW -- since LOTW adi file now is FORMATTED
totally different than it ever has been before.. With this conflict, the
COUNTY
information from the LOTW file is NOT IMPORTED.. You will see BUNCHES of
Warnings in the Error file.
The Non-DXB Import Program (Import.exe) will have to be modified so that
it can find the correct information... Here is a SAMPLE QSO (from my LOTW
download)
that SHOWS the NEW FORMAT for the STATE and COUNTY info:
<APP_LoTW_OWNCALL:6>WA6AXE
<STATION_CALLSIGN:6>WA6AXE
<CALL:4>KH7X
<BAND:3>40M
<FREQ:7>7.24200
<MODE:3>SSB
<APP_LoTW_MODEGROUP:5>PHONE
<QSO_DATE:8>20050305
<TIME_ON:6>082000
<QSL_RCVD:1>Y
<QSLRDATE:8>20090501
<DXCC:3>110
<COUNTRY:6>HAWAII
<APP_LoTW_DXCC_ENTITY_STATUS:7>Current
<APP_LoTW_2xQSL:1>Y
<CQZ:2>31
<ITUZ:2>61
<GRIDSQUARE:6>BL01XP
<STATE:2>HI // Hawaii
<CNTY:11>HI,HONOLULU // Honolulu
<eor>
For the sake of my AutoLOTW program -- I am going to in the next few days, go
into the coding and try to make it so that the COUNTY info will be seen
correctly.
As far as the DXbase Non-DXB Import -- an update will have to come from Neal ...
Just FYI
