Hi Shelby - Maybe you could accomplish the same thing with the "Search and
Replace" thing of a word processor? Sorry this post is wide bandwidth, but
hey, it's plain text, and I think makes a good point.
At first glance, it looks like you could do a search for <QTH:2> and Replace
with <STATE:2>. The DX entries do NOT have the <QTH:2>, so they wouldn't be
affected.
Here is an example of 2 WriteLog ADIF entries before and after edit with
Marek's WL2DX4WIN, and finally using Search and Replace:

And here are the original 2 entries after doing Search and Replace using
WORD:
<QSO_DATE:8>20030927 <TIME_ON:6>001432 <FREQ:6>21.087 <BAND:3>15m <STX:1>4

I think it is the same effect IN THIS CASE/CONTEST/LOG PROGRAM whether you
run Marek's program or do a simple Search and Replace with your word
processor. YMMV, and all ADIF's are not identical - check the WF1B version
carefully before making any assumptions! 73 - John, WA9ALS
P.S. If you use WORD, be sure to save it as a plain text file!
