In some cases ad hoc scripts may be needed but usually it can be done in Access. Faced with a generic CSV file, I’d probably import it into the database and then do any manipulations necessary to coerce it into the structure that my ADIF generator expects. Access has powerful import and export facilities including CSV. I have a Perl script which will generate ADIF from my logs stored within the database (or whatever subset I want). The way I deal with this issue is to use Microsoft Access as an intermediary. Any CSV to ADIF conversion has to know what it’s dealing with. An amateur radio log in CSV might choose to encode the band as “80m” or “3.5MHz”, for example.

It says nothing about how any particular data is to be encoded. CSV itself merely defines the syntax, and even within that there are variations such as whether fields are quoted and whether the first line is used to declare field names. On the other hand CSV is a generic file format used to represent relational data in a textual format. The ADIF side of it is OK there is a specification of how to represent a log in that format, both syntax and semantics. The problem with your question is that it isn’t really well defined. QRZ log (50 fields) with 500 contacts, 15 seconds.Is there a way to make. LoTW log (24 fields) with 500 contacts, a 2-3 seconds. Run times are dependent on details of your log. To run, fill prompt by entering location of adi file, example: C:\Users\km6hbh\Downloads\km6hbh-log.adiĪ CSV file will be created titled: ADIF_to_CSV_YYYY_MM_DD.csvįile is saved in the same folder/location as adif.py and will automatically open the csv file when you close/end application. You could use it for anything like ((SOTA)) or ((ICOMS)) or whatever. This conveter script will search the comments, and create an extra field called POTA, and then include the extar info after the field name.

Example, in QRZ I log a comment when making a POTA contact like ((POTA)) the park number. Note: the file adif.exe is currenlty missing credentilas so you will need to allow that to work.įun Note: Create custom fields in your log book comments. If you have Python installed, just run adif.py, otherwise Window users can run adif.exe. Convert ADIF files from: LoTW, QRZ, HAMRS, MacLoggerDX, WINLOG32, N3FJP's Amateur Contact Log, plus various others to CSV using Python.Ī log file in adif format: logname.adi.
