<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Finally! <\/p>\n
I have been known to procrastinate now and again. One thing on my to do list was uploading my log from Iraq (YI9MI<\/a>) to Log Book of the World. When I initially tried to do it a few years back (my operation was 2007-2008), I had difficulties getting a certificate despite having the correct paperwork from the Iraqi government approving my operation.<\/p>\n Now that I am on my Winter Break, I decided to re-engage and was met with extraordinary help by ARRL’s Norm Fusaro, W3IZ (aka Mr. Log of The World<\/em>). I emailed him my paperwork and he immediately turned around and emailed me back my certificate. Huzzah!<\/a> But not quite yet….<\/p>\n I tried to upload my log, but none of the entries would parse. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n At the time of my Iraq operation, I was using HRD for my logging and had an HRD generated .adi file. I decided to load that file into fldigi and then export it back out as an .adif – not sure if that was the trick, but the log parsed! Hazzah!<\/p>\n Hopefully I delivered early Christmas presents to any individuals out there who were waiting for a YI entity for an award. I am so relieved to finally get that log uploaded and into LoTW.<\/p>\n Every now and again I still get a QSL card to confirm. I have a nice hard copy of the log printed out which allows me to confirm the contact and record that I am sending out the confirmation QSL card.<\/p>\n If you think I still owe you a YI9MI confirmation either by QSL card or LoTW – please let me know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Finally!
