Wayne,

ADIF files have NOTHING to do with your log submission.  The format is 
Cabrillo, and WL saves your log in Cabrillo format with only one little 
problem - it puts "RTTY" at the end of your category, e.g. "SINGLE-OP ALL LOW 
RTTY", which the scoring robot rejects.  Use Notepad or Wordpad to edit out 
the "RTTY" part, and all is well.

GL,
Steve
