I have generated WriteLog ADIF prefill files for the
ARRL DX CW contest and posted them to my club website, the
Eastern Iowa DX Association. This link takes you directly
to the Prefill section:
     < https://tinyurl.com/WLprefills >
What you will download is a zip file containing the ADIF
prefill files, which have the file extension ".adi".

This zip file contains two prefill files:
  1. DX callsigns and power (ARRL_DXCW_DXCalls.adi)
  2. US/VE callsigns and states (ARRL_DXCW_USCalls.adi).

The source for this was the file ARRLDXCW_USDX-002.txt
from the N1MM+ web site, last updated February 16, 2021.

After unzipping the ADIF file, start WriteLog and start a
new log for the selected contest. Open the WriteLog "Tools"
menu and select “Preset Exchange from ADI file…”, browse to
the location of your ADIF file and load it. To test it,
type a callsign from the ADIF file into the callsign field,
press "space" or "tab" to leave that field upon which the
received exchange field(s) should automatically fill with
data from the prefill file.

As always, the accuracy of the data in this file cannot be
guaranteed; treat it as a "suggestion" and be sure to log
what your QSO partner sends!

Craig, K0CF
