Please use Option 4 "Entry File" in SDCHECK.  This will create a
.LOG file in ARRL's File Format for contests (Cabrillo).  This
.LOG file includes both Summary Sheet and QSO data in a single
file.  Rename your file to ON4KJ.LOG and send it, as an attached
file, to dxcw@arrl.org.  You will get an automatic
acknowledgement, and details of format errors - if any.  Do not
send in your .ALL file.

This is an ADIF (Amateur Data Interchange Format File). ARRL does
not accept ADIF files. I think it should - but that's another
matter!

There are no sequence or serial numbers in ARRL DX.  Did you mean
something else?
