[Dxbase] RE: Dxbase Digest, Vol 5, Issue 19

Dave,
The ADI file imported from another s/w program uses a different
"routine" - than LoTW --- The first selection on the Non-DXB
import utility is called "Standard ADIF" whereas the next one
down in the selection menu is "LOTW ADIF" -- Jack is the person
who will have to answer your question directly -- Jack could
tell us whether the Standard ADIF selection is "using" the
ARRL-ID's in it's "logic routine"...
