I have generated WriteLog ADIF prefill files for the
following contest:
   ARRL DX SSB Contest

This file (ARRL_DXSSB.zip) contains two prefill files:
  1. DX callsigns and power (ARRL_DXSSB_DXCalls.adi)
  2. US/VE callsigns and states (ARRL_DXSSB_USCalls.adi).

If you are operating from the US and Canada, use the
ARRL_DXCW_DXCalls.adi file to have power associated with
DX calls.

If you are operating outside the US and Canada, use the
ARRL_DXCW_USCalls.adi file, which associates States/
Provinces with US/Canada callsigns. Note that Alaska and
Hawaii are DX in this contest.

You may download WriteLog prefill files from my club
website, the Eastern Iowa DX Association. This link takes
you directly to the Prefill section:
     < https://tinyurl.com/WLprefills >
What you will download is a zip file containing the ADIF
prefill file, which has the file extension ".adi".

(The data source for all prefill files is the N1MM+ Call
History website. I convert their files to ADIF. Send any
data corrections direct to ve2fk@arrl.net.)

After unzipping the ADIF file, start WriteLog and open or
create a log file for the selected contest. Then open the
WriteLog "Tools" menu and select “Preset Exchange from ADI
file…”, browse to the location of your ADIF file and load
it. To test it, type a callsign from the ADIF file into
the callsign field, press "space" or "tab" to leave that
field upon which the received exchange field(s) should
automatically fill with data from the prefill file.

Note that you can examine the .ADI file with any common
text editor, such as Notepad.

As always, the accuracy of the data in these files cannot
be guaranteed; treat it as a "suggestion" and be sure to
log what your QSO partner sends!

Craig, K0CF
