[Dx4win] paper log entry and conversion .XLS to .ADIF format
Is there a program that will allow me to input my friends paper logs into, say a pre set-up Excel 2010 and then convert it to ADIF for DX4WIN importing. I'm trying to convince him to get into this century. :) Thanks George W2YJ __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

There's better solutions than Excel - ideally you want something that understands the data and helps with the input (verifying that callsigns are valid,etc.) Also, having something that auto-fills is good. If you log one QSO on 20m CW, it's helpful in a lot of cases if the software just assumes that for the next QSO.

George, why not just have him key them into DX4WIN directly? Same number of keystrokes, one step?

Basic Log as found on the ARRL web site is actually a spreadsheet but is set up to capture QSO data. Works well if you need to do that kind of thing. Gives you an ADIF file if you want. Instructions: http://www.arrl.org/files/file/LoTW%2520Resources/Instructions%2520for%2520BasicLog%2520(2).pdf Spreadsheet http://www.arrl.org/files/file/LoTW%2520Resources/BasicLog500.xls Actually works pretty well if you have to enter paper logs David K0LUM On Mar 17, 2013, at 12:05 PM, Rick Murphy wrote: On Sun, Mar 17, 2013 at 12:12 PM, George goofy...@rochester.rr.com wrote: Is there a program that will allow me to input my friends paper logs into, say a pre set-up Excel 2010 and then convert it to ADIF for DX4WIN importing.
