ADIF Viewing and Merging

Post by WA2SQQ »

Terry
I can’t thank you enough for all the hard work that obviously went into LOG4OM. I am enjoying it immensely! From In 1990 I converted all my paper logs and QSL’s to a DOS program called TotalHam. After much searching I found someone in France who knew the program and was able to convert the DOS (DBF) files to an ADIF format. Now, I’m about to import those contacts into LOG4OM. Before I try, I have a few questions.

1. I’d like to just open the ADIF file I want to import, to check the integrity. Will LOG4OM allow me to just open the file and view it, without importing / merging it?

2. I did watch the YouTube video on this process, but with so many options available to me, I’m not sure which option (work flow to use) to finally merge the old data with my current log file.

Hi,
Its not just me its a dedicated programmer, Lele, the Alpha and Beta testing teams and a great bunch of users who provide some great ideas and feedback, so thank you on their behalf.

The best way to view the ADIF file is in Adifmaster or notepad, log4om does not provide this facility.

You might like to email your ADIF file to me for checking before importing it to Log4om, email address is on QRZ
