This is my adif file, and when i upload it, date, apears as yyyymmd, missing one figure, the same occurs with time, mode and band. the only two that are correct are callsign and rst_sent. What do i do wrong, or do i do something wrong. Who can help me.
"<date:8:d>20060211<time_on:4>1200<call:12>PA1AT <band:4>10M <mode:3>CW <rst_sent:6>599FR <eof>"

Rienk,

The example record you show is ok for the date and time fields, but the call, band, mode and rst_sent fields are incorrectly formed.

The figures after the colon (:) character indicate the length of the field. So the call entry should be <call:5>PA1AT and band should be <band:3>10M and mode should be <mode:2>CW

Is this being generated from a logging program or are you typing it manually?

Hallo Tim, Tnx fr ur reply, i already figured out how to get it uploaded, and though the numbers are not right after the colon i keep it this way because i generate it from N6TR logging program. It does not have the adif option, but as a DOS user (Hi) i convert the ARRL format to an ADIf by tranforming it by dbase (You remember the program from the ice age....) But it stil works well and i put all the info between the right and left angles in it at once. So I must stick to the standard for my program. Uploading is going Ok now but sometimes i have all the qso's that i uploaded as dupes. and they appear double in the screen. I have to delete all the wrong ones by hand. Can you also mail me an example of the QSLMSG command and how and where i have to put it. I now use it after rts_sent><QSLMSG>xxxxxxtextxxxxxx<eor> but im not sure if thats the right way.
Well i hope you can help me on this on too.

73 Rienk

Hi Rienk.

Sorry for the slow reply - I've not had much time to look in on the forums recently.

You can place the <QSLMSG> tag anywhere in your ADIF record and it just needs to contain the length of the data - so something like the following would be fine:

<RST_SENT:3>599 <QSLMSG:34>Thanks for the QSO, Rienk. 73, Tim<EOR>

Yes, I remember the good old DOS days quite well
