[Dx4win] Submitting ADIF file for card-only DXCC application
Before I left for a week of vacation (back now), I found a relatively painless way to generate a card-only DXCC application in ADIF format. I plan to document this elsewhere, but wanted to present it here, before I forgot. I'm sorry that it's probably too late to make the 12/31 annual listing deadline for most people. Please make sure of the following: 1. You have downloaded your Logbook of the World confirmations from the ARRL LoTW web site, and imported these into DX4WIN (LoTW | Import from LoTW). 2. You DXCC award is configured for both QSL card and LoTW confirmations. You can do this via the Reports menu, then by clicking on the Awards button at the bottom-right of the Report generator window. 3. You are using the DX4WIN award flags to track Checked (approved) and Submitted DXCC credits. 4. This method assumes that you will submit all possible LoTW confirmations for credit, and only QSLs for which you do not have a LoTW confirmation. In other words, if you are trying to save money by submitting as many QSL cards as possible, and thus as few LoTW confirmations as possible, this method isn't for you. There are two ways to do this: the systematic way, or the brute-force way. Systematic way: 1. Perform a DXCC submission through the ARRL Logbook of the World web site. This will submit all of your electronic confirmations. 2. Manually change the correspond DXCC award flags to Submitted for each credit submitted through the LoTW web site. After this is done, it is a good time to save your DX4WIN log. 3. Perform a DXCC submission in DX4WIN, via the Reports menu. You can save or print the submission report, but you really don't need it. (continue at #4 below) Brute-force way: 1. Perform a DXCC submission through the ARRL Logbook of the World web site. This will submit all of your electronic confirmations. 2. Perform a DXCC submission in DX4WIN, via the Reports menu. You can save or print the submission report, but you really don't need it. 3. Adjust the DXCC award flags so that the same QSOs that were submitted for credit via LoTW are marked as Submitted in DX4WIN. This may mean that some QSOs confirmed by paper QSL no longer need to be marked as Submitted. At this point, all of the confirmations you want to submit will be marked as Submitted in DX4WIN. Now you want to identify those for which you need to submit QSL cards. 4. Depending on the type of DXCC credits you will be submitting, you may need to create up to three ADIF files - one for DXCC Mixed, one for DXCC Mode, and/or for DXCC band. Make sure your QSO window is expanded to show the Award flags (use F5 until you see them). 4a. For DXCC Mixed submissions, perform an F8 search. You will want to search for 'Y' in the Cnfm field on the line that starts with Label, 'N' in the Cnfm field on the line that starts with LoTW, and 'S' in the Award flags in the DXCC column, Mixed row. If the search reports No matching QSO found, then continue on to step 4b below. Otherwise, in the main DX4WIN menu, File | Import/Export. You should see the Import/Export Filters window, and the ADIF row should be highlighted. In this window, choose File | Export from the menu. DX4WIN will ask if you want to use the current filter. Answer Yes. Save the resulting ADIF file to something like 2012_MIXED.adi. 4b. For DXCC Band submissions, perform an F8 search. You will want to search for 'Y' in the Cnfm field on the line that starts with Label, 'N' in the Cnfm field on the line that starts with LoTW, and 'S' in the Award flags in the DXCC column, Band row. If the search reports No matching QSO found, then continue on to step 4c below. Otherwise, in the main DX4WIN menu, File | Import/Export. You should see the Import/Export Filters window, and the ADIF row should be highlighted. In this window, choose File | Export from the menu. DX4WIN will ask if you want to use the current filter. Answer Yes. Save the resulting ADIF file to something like 2012_BAND.adi. 4c. For DXCC Mode submissions, perform an F8 search. You will want to search for 'Y' in the Cnfm field on the line that starts with Label, 'N' in the Cnfm field on the line that starts with LoTW, and 'S' in the Award flags in the DXCC column, Mode row. If the search reports No matching QSO found, then you are done. Otherwise, in the main DX4WIN menu, File | Import/Export. You should see the Import/Export Filters window, and the ADIF row should be highlighted. In this window, choose File | Export from the menu. DX4WIN will ask if you want to use the current filter. Answer Yes. Save the resulting ADIF file to something like 2012_MODE.adi. Now you can perform the DXCC submission using the ADIF files you created, using the following URL: https://p1k.arrl.org/onlinedxcc/adif.php Ypu will have to log into the ARRL web site using your callsign and ARRL password, both of which may be different from your LoTW username and password. You are allowed to upload multiple ADIF
Re: [Dx4win] Submitting ADIF file for card-only DXCC application
Yes, it works very well; I did exactly you write a few days ago. I wonder if there is any way to mix together the mode and band ADIF files but I can upload the files separetly without any problem. I also have some misunderstanding how the ARRL online application does sort the application. I did try sorting the ADIF file either by call or by date and got the same result from the site, I think the site application has its own default, am I right? HNY to all. 73 DX de PY2YP - Cesar On 31/12/2012 20:19, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: Before I left for a week of vacation (back now), I found a relatively painless way to generate a card-only DXCC application in ADIF format.
