Thanks for the careful documentation on your request!

I can log Rpt sent and Rpt Rcvd in WSJT-X and it shows up in LOGic's RST fields no problem. I see you are still on version 9.20.5. Get the latest 9.20.7. We may have fixed something related to that in .6.

Tell me how to get WSJT-X to send ANT and RIG to the ADIF file and I will test it. I think it will import it if it is set up in tools/setup/log fields.

Tnx & 73,

Ok, I would try setting up your ANT and RIG fields in LOGic's tools/setup/log fields, paying particular attention to the ADIF tab. Thinking more about it, you must have the ADIF settings in LOGic set up, because it batch-imports those OK. I will look at the code and get back to you. WSJT-X uses the same import code as LoTW, but is different from the standard file import.

Where is your program getting the RIG and ANT from?

Another option is to simply log RIG and ANT in LOGic. Turn on CARRY FORWARD, and just log it manually the first time, and it will fill in automatically for subsequent QSOs that are added. When you change antennas, tell LOGic and the new value will carry forward.

Incidentally, on your PDF (nicem BTW!): Once everything is set up, you do not need to exit LOGic to start WSJT-X. Just leave LOGic running, and you can exit and start WSJT-X at will. You can even delete the WSJT-X adif file, and LOGic will carry on when you log the next QSO in WSJT-X and creates a new file. It's pretty bulletproof.

The only thing that could get someone into trouble is if they exit LOGic and log a QSO in WSJT-X. The QSO will not be logged of course. When you start LOGic, it is not going to go back and automatically log the QSOs that it missed. The only rule is that LOGic has to be running for a WSJT-X QSO to get logged. Of course you could import the missed QSOs as a standard ADIF file.

Dennis,

I restested everything after I upgraded to 9.20.7 and I get the same results as reported in my first post.

I wasn't sure if Logic needed to be restarted after I changed the log file name in Log/Setup/Auto ADIF logging so I restarted just in case.

Attached are screen captures of the log fields screens for the ANT custom field. The filenames are:

user_defined_ant_field_1.jpg
user_defined_ant_field_2.jpg
user_defined_ant_field_3.jpg
user_defined_ant_field_4.jpg


My program gets the antenna value from the ADIF band field. Most of my antennas are single-band, so I can just hardcode in the program that if the contact is 20 meters then set the ANT field to be the 20 meter dipole.

I found an easy way to test the auto import without actually having to make a contact on the air. I can edit the file that Logic monitors using Notepad, duplicate a record that is already in the file, then save the file. The moment the file is saved Logic grabs that new record. So if you do that with the modified_wsjt-x_log_record_for_import_into_logic.adi attachment from my first post, Logic should grab it when you save the file.

There is one thing about the ANT field. The data value is '30/20 METER INVERTED VEE @ 35' - minus the single quotes, of course. Does ADIF mind the forward slash (/) in the data portion of the tag, or is it just another alphanumeric character that is part of the string?

Also, just for your reference I have included the source code for the two programs I use to add the custom fields to the ADIF record that Logic imports. They are:

list_wsjt_log_omni_2.rexx which calls
export_wsjt_log_2.rexx

As you can see from the suffix, they are written in the REXX programming language.

If you are unfamiliar with REXX you can download the interpreter from here:

https://sourceforge.net/...jects/regina-rexx/files/

Click the regina-rexx link then click the 3.93 link. From there you can download either the 32-bit Regina393w32.exe or 64-bit Regina393w64.exe files for Windows, whichever is appropriate. These are self-extracting installation files.

Go to https://sourceforge.net/...ina-documentation/3.9.1/

to get the documentation.

regina.pdf is the language reference document, and regutil.pdf is the documentation for the external function library.


Thanks again,

Hi--

Lets start at the basics. Is it logging RST_SENT and RST_RCVD?

I did some tests by pasting a QSO with RIG and ANT into the WSJT-X_log.adi file using notepad. LOGic went crazy. The whole file was basically recreated with all the existing records in it becoming new. But ANT and RIG did get logged.

You can have LOGic automatically log a rig or antenna based on band. Go to log/setup and click on the DEFAULTS tab. Use the ICASE function which is documented in Help. In my example, I did only 10 and 20 meters, but you can have as many pairs as you want. The last parameter is the default if none of the conditions are met. You can put an empty string ( "" ) here.
