Adifmerg
Introduction
The adifmerg is a simple command line program written in Perl. It has been tested and used in Linux operating system. This program does not have a graphical user interface (GUI). The purpose of the program is to check ADIF-logs, add new data to the log and make simple corrections to the log. The ADIF files can be hand edited for a few QSOs, but this becomes laborious for larger files. In this case adifmerg can make the job easier.
SOTA logs
For a SOTA activator logging is not as simple as for a fixed station. The log can contain tens or hundreds of different summits each with a different summit reference, locator grid square or county. Some times also the activations are done in different countries. This tutorial shows how to extract the QSO information from the SOTA database and submit the data to LoTW (or eQSL) for each activation.
