I suspect you are referring to the Amateur Data Interchange Format (ADIF), which was developed in 1996 by Ray WF1B and Dennis WN4AZY; Dennis is the author of LOGic. >>>ADIF is employed in two ways by LotW: QSOs uploaded to LotW are conveyed as encrypted ADIF records, and information about a QSO's acceptance and confirmation that was requested via LotW's programmatic interface is returned in ADIF records. 73, Dave, AA6YQ _______________________________________________ It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatsoever for supposing it is true. - Bertrand Russell
