[WriteLog] QSL Status Missing in ADI Files Exported from WL(Gary AL9A)

[Gary AL9A]

Brian,

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were looking for in your first query.  The 
QSL_SENT and QSL_RCVD fields are not included in the ADIF file because they 
are not defined fields in the general logger.  There is a solution, add the 
fields to the logger yourself.  Here is a sample ADIF file produced by the 
general DX logger after a slight modification.

<PROGRAMID:8>WriteLog
<PROGRAMVERSION:6>11.06A
<EOH>
<QSO_DATE:8>20120828 <TIME_ON:6>145744 <FREQ:8>14.02700 <BAND:3>20m <STX:1>1 
<MODE:2>CW
    <CALL:5>VK3MI
    <APP_WRITELOG_M:1>1
    <APP_WRITELOG_20:3>  1
    <APP_WRITELOG_COUNTRY:9>Australia
    <APP_WRITELOG_C:1>
    <APP_WRITELOG_PREF:2>VK
    <RST_SENT:3>599
    <RST_RCVD:3>599
    <APP_WRITELOG_Name:5>BRIAN
    <APP_WRITELOG_QSLS:1>Y
    <APP_WRITELOG_QSLR:1>N
<EOR>

Note the last two fields now indicate the QSLS and QSLR status.  Here is how 
to modify the general logger to get the info you want.

In the General DXCC logger click on Contest/Exchange Format Setup...  If a 
window opens asking you if you want to initialize all fields answer NO.  In 
the Edit QSO Exchange Fields window click on New and in the Caption box type 
a name for the new field, I used QSLS.  In the list of check boxes select 
Prompt, No Space character allowed and then Save.  Now repeat these steps 
and add another new exchange field called QSLR.  Again click the Prompt, No 
Space character allowed check boxes and Save.  Now click on OK.  When the 
window closes you will note the two new fields QSLS and QSLR are in the 
Entry window.  You may have to scroll the log window to the right to see the 
two new fields in the log, but if you checked the Prompt boxes they will 
display there.  These new fields are editable, just like any other field so 
you can update previous log entries if you want.  I simply entered Y or N as 
the field entry.  If desired you could also add a couple more fields for 
Date Sent and Date Rcvd, your choice.  If you add date fields like this add 
a few spaces after the field name in the Caption box to provide the field 
width you need.

Once you have the fields created do a Save Configuration so that WL will 
retain the fields for the next time you use the General DX logger module. 
Now when you create an ADIF the newly created fields will be included in 
your file.  Good luck.

73,
Gary AL9A
