This program will split an ADIF file into multiple files based on the transmitted QTH (County or Grid Square). This is useful so that each log can be signed and uploaded to ARRL Logbook of the World (LoTW) using a different station location for each one. The same is true for eQSL (uploaded only, not signed). This program works with N1MM, WSJT-X and some WriteLog logs (others can be added on request). It has been tested with Windows 10, but should work with Windows Vista and later.
This program does not sign and/or upload the logs. You still have to do that yourself!
Version 2.0 of the program was released on 14 February 2021. Go to the Version History to download the installation program.

Installation:

Operation
To run the program, just double-click on the program icon. You should be presented with a window like the following:
Click the Input button to navigate to the location of the ADIF file you want to split. If you want to split a log by transmitted grid square, check the VHF Grid checkbox. Then click the Split button. You'll see the name of each output file, based on the transmitted QTH (usually county abbreviation), as well as the number of QSOs made from that QTH. You can split multiple logs without having to restart the program.
The program recognizes only the following ADIF field names which indicate the transmitted QTH:
- N1MM - APP_N1MM_ROVERQTH
- WriteLog - APP_WRITELOG_MYCTY
- WSJT-X - MY_GRIDSQUARE
The program will prompt you before overwriting an existing file. You will have three choices:
- Yes - overwrite existing file
- No - do not overwrite existing file. All QSOs from this transmitted QTH will be skipped
- Cancel - exit "Split" operation without creating any more output files
The program will strip all application-specific ADIF fields from the QSO records when writing the output file(s). These fields aren't necessary.
The Help button takes you to this web page.
The About button shows the version number and copyright information.
The Exit button closes (exits) the program. You can also close the program by clicking on the "X" in the upper right-hand corner.
