Wayne,
ADIF files have NOTHING to do with your log submission. The format is
Cabrillo, and WL saves your log in Cabrillo format with only one little
problem - it puts "RTTY" at the end of your category, e.g. "SINGLE-OP ALL LOW
RTTY", which the scoring robot rejects. Use Notepad or Wordpad to edit out
the "RTTY" part, and all is well.
GL,
Steve
