[CQ-Contest] N1MM/Writelog .adif files

[Art Searle W2NRA]

Hi Bill,

I have imported my 2004 WriteLog contests into N1MM successfully.  It was 
some time ago and don't remember the specifics but there was an extra step. 
Rather than trying to figure out what the differences in ADIF field 
identifiers are I used Microsoft Access to move whole columns of data into 
the right place.  This worked fine for every contest I transferred.  They 
all scored fine too.  However I only had 5 logs to import and I didn't have 
anywhere near your number of Qs per contest.  If you want to try it again I 
suggest you make a test database and once you get it right move it where you 
want.  I haven't tried N1MM transfer to WriteLog.
