Searching for a ready-made converter only gave me “404 not found errors”. Having finally managed that, I discovered that the upload of the logs to the SOTA database requires yet another format. While I enjoy experimenting with the station set-up, and making the contacts, I really did not like to spend the remaining of my week-end wrestling with the related administration: reading my awful handwriting (even when my hands are not frozen as they were on site) to input the QSO’s in my logging software, guessing the times I had not written down during the QSO’s, uploading the relevant records with a new call (these are my first QSO’s logged as ON6ZQ/P), to eQSL (with an “attached” callsign), and Lotw (with the required new certificate).

This will ensure that the country stands the best chance of being converted correctly. NOTE: It is strongly recommended that the top two boxes are always checked. Then select the ADIF file for input by clicking the button to the right of “DIF Filename. From the menu in Logbook, select Logbook >File > Import, and then choose the relevant option from the list of five shown.
Make sure that it is configured to provide all available fields. Export the log into ADIF format from the other logging program. To import a log from another logging program, follow these steps: 1.
