Multiple values in ADIF QSL fields?

Hi,

I'm trying to convert an old log file into an ADIF format using Excel and some of its formatting tricks, then import into CQRLOG.

Can the ADIF fields COL_QSL_RCVD_VIA and COL_QSL_SENT_VIA have multiple values?

I'm looking to track eQSL, Direct, and Bureau qsls using those fields.

If so, what is the proper format? According the the spec, it can have values B, D, E, but can it parse multiple? What separates the values? Comma, space, semi-colon?

Thanks.

Hi Dan,

as far as I know, there are no fields like COL_QSL_RCVD_VIA and COL_QSL_SENT_VIA in ADIF specification.

If you have something in EQSL_QSLSDATE, EQSL_QSL_SENT, LOTW_QSLSDATE,LOTW_QSL_SENT cqrlog will save it into database. You can enable showing that fields in Preferences -> Visible comlumn.

B, D, E in qsl_s are CQRLOG specific and in ADIF are exported/imported as APP_CQRLOG_QSLS or APP_CQRLOG_QSLR fields. It should have only one of the values, not more.
It should work even with more symbols but CQRLOG can't handle it and field with more symbols will be overwritten when you select another symbol from menu.
