New

Text command: NEW

This menu option will create new DXLog contest file in a windows folder of your choice.


File:Contest config.png


Save the new contest with a meaningful name in a file directory (We advise creating a DXLog file
directory in your my documents folder), the contest will be saved with the .dxn file extension.


File:Saveas.png

Open

Text command: OPEN

This menu option will open existing DXLog contest file.


File:Open.png


Close

Text command: CLOSE

This menu option closes the currently open contest file.

DXLog stays open allowing a new contest file to be created, or an existing contest file to be re-opened.

Related text commands:

REOPEN or RELOAD

Reloads the current contest log and displays the configuration form.
NB. Will also reload scripts and contest definitions.

REOPENNOW or RELOADNOW

Reloads the current contest log without displaying the configuration form.
NB. Will also reload scripts and contest definitions.

Import

With this option you can import QSO data from different sources.

  • Cabrillo
Creates a new DXLog log from a Cabrillo file.
Only available when no log is open.
  • EDI
Creates a new DXLog log from a EDI log file. This is commonly used format for VHF/UHF/SHF contests.
Only available when no log is open.
  • ADIF
This option is only enabled with an active DXLog log since an active contest's exchange
definition is required to correctly parse the ADIF.
Multiple files can be selected at import, with optional removal of duplicates and sorting.

Export

With this option you can export QSO data in different sources.

  • Cabrillo
Text command: WRITELOG
This option will create new Cabrillo 3.0 .LOG file from the current log. (Most contests expect logs submitted in this format).
Example:
QSO:  1800 CW 2015-03-30 1719 G2F           599 0001   M0CHK         599 0001   0  
QSO:  1800 CW 2015-03-30 1719 G2F           599 0002   ON1TH         599 0002   0  
QSO:  1800 CW 2015-03-30 1721 G2F           599 0003   IK1RGT        599 0019   0  
Notes: Grid locator will be included if the contest uses it.
CATEGORY-OVERLAY will be included if not empty or disabled in the contest definition.
CATEGORY-TIME and CATEGORY-LOCATION will only be included if used by the contest.
SOAPBOX entries will have to be added manually to the exported file.
CATEGORY-ASSISTED is included if not disabled.
For more information about CATEGORY-STATION and CATEGORY-BAND, see the contest configuration section.
  • EDI
Text command: WRITELOG
This option will create new .EDI file from the current log. (Mostly V/U/SHF contest logs are submitted in this format).
Example:
[QSORecords;6]
200422;0901;ES2DZ;2;599;001;599;023;;KO29HI;799;;N;N;

[END;DXLog.net v2.4.28 by 9A5K]
  • ADIF
This option will create new ADIF .ADI file from the current log. This format is typically used to transfer to web sites or to a master log.
Example:
<QSO_DATE:8>20200919 <TIME_ON:6>135220 <TIME_OFF:6>135220 <STATION_CALLSIGN:6>SM7IUN <FREQ:7>14.0207 <BAND:3>20M <CONTEST_ID:6>SAC-CW <STX:3>102 <MODE:2>CW <CALL:4>N6AR <RST_SENT:3>599 <RST_RCVD:3>599 <TX_PWR:3>500 <SRX:2>90 <OPERATOR:6>SM7IUN <APP_DXLOG_XQSO:1>N <EOR>
<QSO_DATE:8>20200919 <TIME_ON:6>135447 <TIME_OFF:6>135447 <STATION_CALLSIGN:6>SM7IUN <FREQ:7>14.0207 <BAND:3>20M <CONTEST_ID:6>SAC-CW <STX:3>103<MODE:2>CW <CALL:4>N9NC <RST_SENT:3>599 <RST_RCVD:3>599 <TX_PWR:3>500 <SRX:2>99 <OPERATOR:6>SM7IUN <APP_DXLOG_XQSO:1>N <EOR>
<QSO_DATE:8>20200919 <TIME_ON:6>135501 <TIME_OFF:6>135501 <STATION_CALLSIGN:6>SM7IUN <FREQ:7>14.0207 <BAND:3>20M <CONTEST_ID:6>SAC-CW <STX:3>104 <MODE:2>CW <CALL:4>K3WW <RST_SENT:3>599 <RST_RCVD:3>599 <TX_PWR:3>500 <SRX:3>129 <OPERATOR:6>SM7IUN <APP_DXLOG_XQSO:1>N <EOR>
<QSO_DATE:8>20200919 <TIME_ON:6>135606 <TIME_OFF:6>135606 <STATION_CALLSIGN:6>SM7IUN <FREQ:7>14.0207 <BAND:3>20M <CONTEST_ID:6>SAC-CW <STX:3>105 <MODE:2>CW <CALL:4>LZ5R <RST_SENT:3>599 <RST_RCVD:3>599 <TX_PWR:3>500 <SRX:3>192 <OPERATOR:6>SM7IUN <APP_DXLOG_XQSO:1>N <EOR>
Checking the option "include X-QSO" will include also QSO marked invalid (a.k.a. X-QSO) in the export and all
QSO records will include the application specific key APP_DXLOG_XQSO. This key has the value of "Y" for an invalid
QSO and "N" for a valid QSO.
DXLog will recognize this key at import to preserve the X-QSO status for each QSO in the log.
  • Contest list to file
This option will create comma-separated .TXT file with a listing of all supported contest.
Each line contains three elements; the contest group, the contest name, and the live score contest name.
Cabrillo contest names containing {MODE} will have this replaced by the contest entry's mode when used.
Example:
DEFAULT,All Asian,AADX-{MODE}
ITALIAN LOCAL CONTEST,ARI 40/80,4080
ITALIAN LOCAL CONTEST,ARI Sezioni,ITALIAN ARI SEZIONI
DEFAULT,Arktika Cup,ARKTIKA-CUP
DEFAULT,ARRL 10-Meter Contest,ARRL-10
DEFAULT,ARRL 160-Meter Contest,ARRL-160
DEFAULT,ARRL DX,ARRL-DX-{MODE}
DIGITAL MODES,ARRL RTTY Roundup,ARRL-RTTY


  • Morse Runner database
This option will create new Morse Runner database from the currently loaded Super Check Partials database (MASTER.SCP).
Example:
 YO6KGS;20
 DM5KB;14
 RK9KWI;17
 RV3NJ;16
 UA6HML;16
 RW3AJX;16
 TA4/OH2KW;20
  • Text file
This option will create a tab-delimited .TXT file from the current log.
The first line is a header. The second line contains the column names. The third line and onwards are the QSO.
Since the length of the column headings and the QSO data may be longer than one tab step,
the text file may look misaligned when viewed in a normal text editor.
Example:

  • CSV file
This option will create a comma-separated .CSV file from the current log.
The first line contains the column names. The second line and onwards are the QSO.
Please note that the file always use comma as the delimiter which means that for
direct import into e.g. Excel, you may need to manually replace this with your local
list separator (e.g. semicolon in many European locales) before doing so.
Example:
IDQSO,QSOTime,Callsign,Band,Freq,Mode,SRST,Nr,RRST,Rcvd,Rec1,Rec2,Rec3,Stn,Operator,StnID,Points,Mult1,Mult2,Mult3,WPX,DXCC,CQZ,ITUZ
