Swisslog, WSJT-X and JTAlert

[JW6VDA]

I got this from Laurie VK3AMA regarding the scan and rebuid feature of JTAlert.

To export, I used the new WSJT-X exportation query in Swisslog, but as you can see from Laurie's answer, that one does not fullfill what is needed for "Scan and rebuild log" in JTAlert:

---- Quote:

"The Scan Log and Rebuild also supports the ADIF file logging option of JTAlert.

Many ADIF users use an export from their main Logger because the Logger it is not supported by JTAlert.

However, if the Swisslog export snippet you provided is typical of a Swisslog adif export, it is not very suitable for JTAlert. It is missing critical data, DXCC and Zones, and I am guessing that it likely doesn't include States for US Callsigns given that it fails to include something as fundamental as the DXCC. Is that export typical?

Matching QSLMSG and COMMENTS fields is not normal and not a bug. You appear to have the "Log WSJT-X Comments to QSL Message field" option enabled in JTAlert (Logging section of the Settings).

As for adding Swisslog as a supported Logger, it is not on the todo list, so no priority assigned. Last time I checked, Swisslog didn't provide any sort of Interface/API (typically TCPIP or UDP) for 3rd party applications (like JTAlert) to log QSOs. Without that fundamental ability, it will never be supported, sorry. If Swisslog does provide an Interface/API that I am unaware of please send the details and I will add it to the "to be investigated" list. Also, the JTAlert help file contains a FAQ topic titled "How to get support for my Logger in JTAlert", primarily written for Logger owners more so than the users of the Logger.

So how can I get an export that fullfill the criteria that Laurie mentions in his mail? As you clearly see, creating my own queries is reall not a strong side with me ...
