Export awards - ADIF export

Post by KZ3L »

Hello,

First, thanks to the Log4OM team for a FANTASTIC release in version 2 and subsequent minor revisions. This software is truly superb. My current installed version is 2.8.0. on a Windows 10 PC.

I've been researching the manual and forum for several hours trying to find an answer to this question but have come up dry.

I am trying to export all QSOs associated with a reference POTA through the Awards status | Export awards | ADIF export feature. My desire is to export a limited number of ADIF fields for the selected QSOs as an activator and/or a chaser.

I wanted to include the SIG, SIG_Info, My_SIG, and My_SIG_Info fields in my exported ADIF, since I am manually copying the POTA and entity into those fields. However, when I select the "Export selected fields" box and choose all 123 fields on the list, only 68 fields are exported and the ones I need are not in that set of 68.

No doubt this is human error on my part... can someone please help me know what I am missing?

I do know that it's possible to filter QSOs from the "Recent QSOs" tab on the main screen and to export the entire ADIF file from there, then edit that file with a third party utility. But I was hoping that additional software requirement could be avoided.

Thanks in advance for the assist.

73,
Kevin

Terry, I sent the full ADIF log to you this morning.

I found that the QSO manager allows me to correctly export selected fields, including the SIG fields, so that appears to be the best solution for my needs at the moment.

But selecting fields for exporting from within the POTA category of the Award Status menu doesn't work correctly for me. Either it's a bug or I am not understanding the intended application for that feature.

I also noted that the release notes for 2.7.0.0. mention this:
[NEW] Award export now has more options and support WWFF and POTA ADIF output with SIG/MY_SIG/SIGINFO/MY_SIGINFO output
As with my original dilemma posted in this thread, I can't seem to get those fields to export.
