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

If you are operating from the US and Canada, use the
ARRL_DXCW_DXCalls.adi file to have power associated with
DX calls.

If you are operating outside the US and Canada, use the
ARRL_DXCW_USCalls.adi file, which associates States/
Provinces with US/Canada callsigns. Note that Alaska and
Hawaii are DX in this contest.

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
