Load ADIF to Auxiliary Log

This menu-subitem is used to load an ADIF-format (Link will open in your Browser) log-file into the Auxiliary Log. ADIF logs can include the received-callsign's position using the dedicated 'LAT' or 'LON' tags, or the encoded 'GRIDSQUARE' tag. The QSOs, therefore, do not rely on the callsign database for their positional information, and indeed, are likely to be more accurate than positions derived from the postcode and suburb, which is the method that is used to geocode the callbook data. If there are already some QSOs in the Auxiliary Log, you will be given the option of replacing those QSOs with those in the new log, or appending the new QSOs to the existing ones. Once loaded, the Auxiliary Log is sorted by date and time, so any new QSOs will be shown at their correct date and time positions, NOT added to the end of the existing QSOs. The log will then be checked for unique band and mode values: these will be added to the 'Plot Calls By Band' and 'Plot Calls By Mode' menu-subitems, so that you can see and plot QSOs for the bands and modes that the log contains.

Note that Auxiliary Log facilities are only available during the Trial Period, and if the programme is subsequently registered with an 'Advanced' licence. You can always upgrade a 'Standard' licence if you wish to enable Main and Auxiliary Log storage and plotting.
