I am following the guide provided previously:

?

I have downloaded my existing L32 into 3 logs for my three callsigns.? I am ready to upload the logs into DXKeeper.? I have downloaded 3 files for each of my callsigns.? The first 2 should have no complications.

?

All my QSOs have been logged in L32 as one location.? Being able to assign various QTHs is one reason to switch to DXLab. DXing is the other main reason.

?

I am about to venture into the number 7 advice section.

?

I have 4 Station Locations in LotW.? These include my home QTH, 2 POTA locations and one California QSO Party location under my current NU6T callsign.? Each of these non-home QTH locatons are identified in the log as either POTA or CQP under a Contest ID column.

?

1)? I am wondering whether it is best to extract them from my current log before I upload to DXKeeper or to fix the QTH Locations later within DXKeeper?

?

2)? I am uncertain as to who should be named in the "Owner Callsign" box. I have connected all three callsigns in LotW under NU6T. Is there an advantage to naming NU6T as the owner of all three callsigns, or is it more useful to name each old callsign as the "Owner" of each old callsign?

?

I hope to upload to DXKeeper this week as time permits.

?

Thanks, Dave

+ This Article provides a better guide:

I have downloaded my existing L32 into 3 logs for my three callsigns.? I am ready to upload the logs into DXKeeper.? I have downloaded 3 files for each of my callsigns.? The first 2 should have no complications.

+ I assume that you mean that you exported 3 ADIF files, one for each of your Station Callsigns? If this is not correct, proceed no further and set me straight.

All my QSOs have been logged in L32 as one location.? Being able to assign various QTHs is one reason to switch to DXLab. DXing is the other main reason.

I am about to venture into the number 7 advice section.

I have 4 Station Locations in LotW.? These include my home QTH, 2 POTA locations and one California QSO Party location under my current NU6T callsign.? Each of these non-home QTH locatons are identified in the log as either POTA or CQP under a Contest ID column.

+ How can the 2 POTA locations be distinguished? By Station Callsign you used over the air? By date range?

+ I suggest the following steps:

1. On the "my QTHs" tab of DXKeeper Main window, define a myQTH for each of the four locations from which you have made QSOs. For each myQTH, all you need specify is a unique ID. You can populate the rest of each myQTH's items later.

2. On the "Import QSOs" tab of DXKeeper's Main window,

?

2a. In the Options panel, ncheck all of the boxes except "Record import errors in error file", which you should check

2b. In the "Duplicate checking" panel, uncheck all of the boxes unless there may be duplicate QSOs in the ADIF files; if that's the case, proceed no further, and let me know

2c. In the "Substitution options" panel, uncheck all of the boxes except "Substitute for missing myQTH IDs"; check the box, and set the selector to its right to the ID of the myQTH you created for the location from which most of the QSOs in the first ADIF file you'll be importing were made

2d. In the "Replacement Options" panel,

2d1. check the "Station Callsign" box, and fill the text box to the right with the callsign you used over the air during most of the QSOs in the first ADIF file you'll be importing were made

2d2. check the "Operator Callsign" box, and fill the text box to the right with the callsign you used over the air during most of the QSOs in the first ADIF file you'll be importing were made; a QSO's "Operator Callsign" is solely recorded for your benefit; no DXLab automation utilizes it.

2d3. check the "Owner Callsign" box, and fill the text box to the right with the callsign you used over the air during most of the QSOs in the first ADIF file you'll be importing were made; a QSO's "Owner Callsign" is solely recorded for your benefit; no DXLab automation utilizes it.

2e. Click the Start button, and select the first ADIF file

3. Did DXKeeper display an import errors? Using the Log Page Display on the "Log QSOs" tab of DXKeeper's Main window, were your QSOs correctly recovered, with all information important to you recovered?? Was the "Contest ID" item correctly set to indicate POTA or CQP? This article will help you do that:



You'll probably want to add columns to the Log Page Display, as described in this article:



4. If there were no errors, and if the imported QSOs look good, then proceed to import the next two ADIF files by repeating steps 2c and 2d1 with the "myQTH ID" and "Station Callsign" used in most of the QSOs in the ADIF file you're about to import.

5. When you reach this point, let me know and we'll proceed to update all of your QSOs to specify the correct "Station Callsign" and "myQTH ID".
