Having a problem with TQSL signing a TRLog's ADIF file. The error
is "no records output".


Example of standard TRLog LOG.DAT file:

Far as I know ARRL contest log robot accepted the above format for many years.
TQSL will not sign this file format.

Example of ADIF format using the editor in TQSL which can be signed by TQSL:
------------------------------------------
<CALL:4>w1aw
   <BAND:4>160M
   <MODE:2>CW
   <QSO_DATE:8>20031008
   <TIME_ON:4>1137
<EOR>
<CALL:4>w2aw
   <BAND:4>160M
   <MODE:2>CW
   <QSO_DATE:8>20031008
   <TIME_ON:4>1138
<EOR>
<CALL:4>w3aw
   <BAND:4>160M
   <MODE:2>CW
   <QSO_DATE:11>2003108

One obvious answer is to convert the ADIF to .CBR but I didn't have any
luck using some "free" converters available on the internet last night.

For many years I saved the ARRL contests as TRLog's version of ADIF and
I need to get these files either converted to something that works with TQSL or
maybe get Tree to "fix" TQSL. We all know he can "fix" anything........
