EXPORT ADIF for eQSL (tagged).

Menu/File/Export/ADIF - eQSL. - Tagged

A condensed ADIF file is produced specifically for uploading Logs to eQSL.

ONLY tagged QSO's will be exported suitable for eQSL, the TAG "E" must be entered into the Log "QSL OUT" field. The "QSLOUT" field will be updated in the log after exporting as "E DD/MM/YY" as with Printing labels.

The same stringent error checking takes place as for normal eQSL ADIF but contents of Log "Rpt Out" are NOT reported as errors if this is empty.

Fields exported: Callsign (<CALL>); Date (<QSO_DATE>); STime (<TIME_ON>); Band (<BAND>); Mode (<MODE>); RPT OUT (<RST_SENT>)
N.B. <FREQ> tag is NOT exported - the alternative <BAND> tag is exported.

CQ and 'test' entries are excluded from the export as are any unnecssary tags and data.
Size of the file can be defined with any QSO range.

Option: "Export file in 1000 QSO chunks"
Limits the ADIF file to 1000 QSOs at a time to for easier uploading.
Closing the Export window and re-opening it will select the next 1000 QSO and so on.

Option: "Export ALL QSO"
Produces a file containing the complete Log.

Option: "Include QSOs with empty 'RPT OUT' field"
this option will by default be enabled; QSOs in the log will be exported regardless of entries in the log 'RPT OUT' field.
If your log contains logged non-valid contacts, this can be useful method to ignore them when this option is not enabled and nothing is present in the 'RPT OUT' field.

There is stringent error checking on Log data.

Error QSOs will NOT be included in the output file, the error QSOs will be included in an error log file for inspection/correction if any of the following error conditions are found:

Callsign field empty.
Date field empty or invalid date.
STime field empty or invalid time or time format.
Band (frequency) field empty or invalid frequency, frequency must be in MHz and be within an Amateur Band.
Mode empty or invalid, modes must conform to ADIF2 specification, Winlog32 will try to correct any incorrectly logged modes to spec. e.g. 'FSK' will be converted to 'FSK441'.
Rpt Out; Rpt In May be empty but if option "Include QSOs with empty 'Rpt Out' field" is not enabled, these will be reported as an error QSO and removed from the file.

Any errors found in the file will be reported in a pop-up window after the export is completed.

The error text file will be produced with the QSO rejected and the error field data will be marked '***'.
The Log may be corrected by referring to the error file, you can not edit the error file directly.
