  • 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>20150330 <TIME_ON:6>171904 <FREQ:5>1.800 <BAND:4>160M <STX:1>1 <MODE:2>CW <CALL:5>M0CHK <RST_SENT:3>599 <RST_RCVD:3>599 <SRX:3>001 <EOR>
 <QSO_DATE:8>20150330 <TIME_ON:6>171921 <FREQ:5>1.800 <BAND:4>160M <STX:1>2 <MODE:2>CW <CALL:5>ON1TH <RST_SENT:3>599 <RST_RCVD:3>599 <SRX:3>002 <EOR>
 <QSO_DATE:8>20150330 <TIME_ON:6>172133 <FREQ:5>1.800 <BAND:4>160M <STX:1>3 <MODE:2>CW <CALL:6>IK1RGT <RST_SENT:3>599 <RST_RCVD:3>599 <SRX:2>19 <EOR>
Checking the option "include X-QSO" will include also QSO marked invalid (a.k.a. X-QSO) in the export and all
QSO will be 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.

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
