Help required creating ADIF file.

Post by M6VMO »

Hi everyone.
I am a newbie here.
Also a new LOG4OM user.

Since I am a free qrz user, I managed to get my logbook out of there in a more or les "unconventional" way. :mrgreen:

I would now like to get my logbook into Hamqth, but all I have is a .txt file.
Could someone tell me how to turn that file into an ADIF file?
I have tried a program that turned out to be somewhat complicated, and I am really new to ADIF files so any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your quick reply, Terry.
I found one, quite cumbersome to use and not very accurate, and besides the English in the help files was somewhat "dodgy".

They seem hard to come by, I have been searching for a very long time and I have not found anything satisfactory so far.

I'm afraid they're both the same program.
But I'll try to get to understand the thingy.

Thank yu.

I have been fiddling around with it a bit, and to be quite honest, I think it is a load of [BLEEP].

Thank heaven for LOG4OM, fortunately I did not have too many QSOs to enter, so I entered them manually into LOG4OM.

After one day of use, and even though I have a lot to learn about it,I am really beginning to love the program.
Keep up the good work.
