I am having the same problem. I did searches on the help file and user guide and could not find out how to increase the field # by 1 as suggested below within the DX4WIN program. Can this be done within the DX4WIN program, or is this suggestion related a manual edit of the resultant ADIF file? My question relates to past QSOs and QSOs to be logged in the future.

I am learning more about adif formatting than I ever thought I should know! I finally figured out why the TQSL program was giving me errors for my 222 MHz contacts. Proper adif format shows the band to be 1.25m. DX4WIN ver. 5.03 exports it as 1.2m. So the proper adif format should be: band:51.25m After making this change, deleting out my satellite qso's, and customizing the TQSL program to accept PSK3 for mode PSK31, it went with no hitches!

I am in the process of using TQSL to convert the logs for upload for LOTW. TQSL also includes a date range filter, so you can exclude QSOs from before and after specified dates from the ADIF or Cabrillo file, if you didn't do it in your export from DX4WIN. Another note - warning of sorts: TQSL is VERY slow. My machine is a Dell P4 2.2 Ghz and it's converting at about 20 QSOs/second. The current selection I'm converting contains 82K QSOs, so it's going to be a while. If you have a big log and/or a slow computer, you may want to run it overnight. 73, Barry-- Barry Kutner, W2UP Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newtown, PA Frankford Radio Club

Sacrifice personal security in favour of Lotw security... I think not! Cheers... Isn't that a bit overdrawn, Mel? Other than DXpeditions, the only requirement for non-US stations is pretty straightforward -- Every non-USA station requesting a certificate for Logbook of the World must supply a copy of his or her Amateur Radio license in addition to a copy of one other government-issued document indicating his/her identity. Such an additional document might be a driver's license, for example. How many personal documents of that minor level of importance do you send every month to someplace or another by mail? Sure, it's a bit annoying to have to wait for mail notification of your initial certificate password, but the ultimate payoff would seem to be well worth it, for US and non-US stations alike. If I were LotW's authors, I'd be very concerned that one successful fraud could undermine the entire enterprise. 73, Pete N4ZR The World HF Contest Station Database was updated August 30. 129 stations were added or updated.

I received my certificate today and am in the process of converting the = adif exported log from DX4WIN into the format for uploading to the LOTW. I am receiving error messages on my contacts that I have made using the satellites. Apparently Sat is not a recognized band in the adif = format? Is there a work around for this? Maybe I just have to wait before I can upload these contacts to the LOTW. I may have to create a new adif file = that excludes satellite contacts. I am not sure how to do this but will try. 73 Jay Jay Hainline KA9CFD EN40om Colchester, IL [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.qsl.net/learc=20

To convert my log from DX4Win to the ADIF needed by LOTW, I exported from DX4Win with filters for the various modes. I have always placed the actual mode for the various soundcard (PSK) modes in the QSO Notes field so it was easy to filter them out. When done with the exports I was left with a bunch of files with mode extensions. I used filenames like: k6mmc_ssb.adif, k6mmc_cw.adic, k6mmc_psk31.adif, k6mmc_hell.adif, etc. Within TQSL before signing each file I made the propper mapping from PSK-MT63, PSK-HELL, etc. This required me to change the TQSL ADIF mappings between all the different modes I had recorded as PSK within DX4Win. On the LOTW site it was a simple process to upload the files, one at a time. 73, Michael

Yes, TQSL is slow. Couple of things. First, the site is having problems with large uploads. Plus although there aren't that many records coming in it seems slow. Unless you're into watching your results immediately you can save some aggravation by emailing the files. Second, there is a new version of Trusted QSL -- v1.07. If you're going to request additional certificates you'll need it. I've upload 28k+ records and already have a bunch of QSL's.
