[Dxbase] Online DXCC

Wed Mar 14 14:24:35 EDT 2012

The ARRL DXCC Desk continues to beta test the Online DXCC application that will
allow us directly input our paper cards into the DXCC database prior to sending
cards to either a checker or HQ. The checker would then compare the file we
created with the paper cards and verify the accuracy of our file. The idea is to
eliminate the time consuming manual input process at HQ. It sounds like this
will help eliminate the backlog at HQ. The applicant will either key in the card
information manually or submit an adif file of his card data. As it relates to
Dxbase, is there any way to create an adif file of the cards that I want to
submit? It looks like some additional programming may be required. The contents
of the DXCCQSO.RPT file needs to be in adif format.
Disclaimer I have only a brief understanding of the Online DXCC needs and am
far from being a programmer. I may be way off base on the needs of the Online
DXCC but this is the way I understand it. Something to think about.
