Hal,
I created a adi file myself with using Excel to convert the ARRL SS CW CSV
history file from 2011. I then added some additional information I found on
the AZ Outlaws web site. The file now contains over 2500 records from 2011.
Converting the ARRL CSV format into an adi file is problematic because the
file contains many fields of data that are simply not needed for an adi
prefill. Once in Excel these extraneous fields can be deleted. One of the
biggest problems with the ARRL file is their inclusion of operator calls at
multi-op stations within the station call field. I had to devise a method
of text manipulation to identify the problem records and then strip out only
the station call signs. It was also necessary to scan through the data and
change state names to section names for those states with multiple sections.
The file also contains what I think are the correct new ON section names for
various VE3 calls. This is based upon the map of the new VE3 sections and
checking qrz.com for the call address and then finding the town on the map.
Most should be ok, but a few on the map boundary edges may be in error.
While my process works, it is still highly manual. I haven't had the time
to automate the process by creating macros to do the tasks. In any event if
you would like a copy of my adi file to try out let me know and I will send
it to you direct.

Subject: [WriteLog] CSV to .ADI or WL conversion
The ARRL website will let you download the last three years of SS CW log
entries in CSV format. Anyone know how to convert that format to .ADI or
WL
so that it can be imported into the WL program?
