Export Your Log

If you're like most ham radio operators who contest, you have a ham radio logging program that you use as well as WriteLog. And, if you're like most ham radio operators who contest, you'd prefer to keep your DXCC statistics, QSL tracking, and log in one program - the logging program. The trick, of course, is exporting your ham radio contest log from WriteLog over to your logging program. Almost all logging programs offer to import information and, fortunately, WriteLog can export its log information in almost any format you would need. Here's how.

Save the file in your ham radio contest location. You are now ready to import your file into your logging program. Follow the instructions for importing your file into your logging program - but the file you want from WriteLog is at the location you just saved.
