Terry, The ADIF file format uses tags to identify each piece of information. The tag identifies both the data type and the number of characters for the data. For example, your callsign would appear a

Same here. Zero VA qsos while I searched for OK and ND (even though the VA stations were mostly loud all weekend). While I don't especially like serial number exchanges (particularly when the "county
