ADIF Import/Export

ADIF Import/Export, SOTA Import/Export, KML Export

The Export ADIF... File Menu command will export the QSOs selected in the Log Panel or if none are selected, the entire log.

ADIF is an open standard for exchange of data between ham radio software packages available from different vendors.

MacLoggerDX ADIF Menu commands:

File Menu:

Import ADIF
Export ADIF
Import ADIF(XML)
Export ADIF(XML)

Log Menu:

Confirm QSOs with ADIF File...

Accepts eQSL Reports, ARRL Logbook of the World Status Reports, and ARRL Logbook of the World DXCC QSL Card Reports.

Import Options (You may have to press the Options button to reveal the option check boxes) ...

Import Addresses - ADIF addresses do not always parse correctly into street, city, country.
Reject Duplicates - This can be useful if you are constantly importing from the same ADIF file but only want to capture the new QSOs.
A duplicate QSO is one where the times-on are within one minute, the RX frequencies are within 10 hz. and the Call signs are identical.

Export Options:

Export Addresses.
Skip Ignored QSOs.

Note: POTA_REF and MY_POTA_REF have been implemented by the ADIF group but they are not yet recognized by the POTA organization. Until they are we have to also export them as SIG, SIG_INFO and MY_SIG, MY_SIG_INFO.

Note: tags extracted from the comments field must be terminated with a comma or end-of-line.

ADIF Export notes:

DXCC known to be invalid (Z6, 1B, T1, D1, /MM, /AM) exported as zero.

Submodes are exported as their parent mode i.e. USB is exported as SSB.

PROP_MODE is exported as EME if the Satellite field in the log is EME, otherwise, if the Satellite field is not empty, PROP_MODE is exported as SAT.

ADDRESS tag is optional (check-box on import/export panel).

Some Windows logging programs can't import the ADDRESS tags with Unix line endings.

QSL Received

MacLoggerDX passes valid single character ADIF QSL_RCVD enumerations
unchanged: {Y, N, R, I} (V is deprecated). This enumeration can't be combined with other tags.

LoTW: Confirmation tags are mapped to LOTW_QSL_RCVD:Y and LOTW_QSLRDATE tags.

eQSL.cc Confirmation tags are mapped to EQSL_QSL_RCVD:Y

CardC: Manual QSL Confirmation tags are mapped to QSL_RCVD:Y
as well as emitting a QSLRDATE if the UTC date (YYYYMMDD) is included after the tag.

Receive QSL Confirmation tags are mapped to QSL_RCVD:Y

MacLoggerDX SOTA Menu commands:

File Menu:

Import SOTA - CSV V1 or V2
Export SOTA - CSV V2 - Make sure the SOTA references in your logged QSOs are correct or the SOTA uploader will reject them.

KML Export

Select some log entries, then use Export Google KML File from the File menu, then double-click on the file created and view in Google Earth Pro...
