Go to your outbox, http://www.eqsl.cc/qslcard/OutBoxSelector.cfm , at the bottom of the page you will see a link: "Download Log in ADIF format"
Click on the link. The system will build the ADIF file, might take a few minutes depeding on how many contacts you have. Once done, it will ask if you want .txt or .adi. Choose .adi, the ADIF file will be displayed on your screen. Right click with your mouse within the display, that will bring up the "save as" dialogue. 73, Dave - VA3KAB |

David, problems with generating the .ADI file from eQSL for the 1st time. Following your instructions, I select .ADI after the list is generated. The page appears with all of the data. But Mac OS X can only save it as a "web archive" file. File name for me was: KC0XT.adi.webarchive. How do you generate a genuine .ADI file?

The file displayed on the screen IS a genuine ADIF file. With windows, when you do the right click to bring up the "save as" dialogue, the default filename is callsign.adi.
I know absolutely nothing about Mac OS, perhaps it is just a matter of renaming the file after you have saved it? 73, Dave - VA3KAB |

Tried re-naming the file using just the .ADI suffix. LoTW would not accept. It appears because of the text at the top of the eQSL file.

What text are you referring to? The very first line of that file should say: "ADIF 2 Export from eQSL.cc"
That is part of the header information, which should be ignored by any program importing it. There are a few other lines of header info, followed by "<EOH>" , which signifies the end of the header section. All data after that is ADIF data. 73, Dave - VA3KAB |

Renaming the eQSL-generated ADIF file from KC0XT.adi.webarchive (saved with "Save As" from Mac OS X Safari) to KC0XT.adi, then uploading to ARRL LoTW, this error message is generated from LoTW:
Signing using Callsign KC0XT, DXCC Entity UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Error: ADIF field pre style="word-wrap size overflow on line 2 Error: Invalid amateur CALL () on line 2 No records to upload Also, trying to open the file KC0XT.adi, there is now nothing in the file. Stumped. Will try Firefox for Mac -- see if that makes a difference. KC0XT David Ahrendts |

Firefox for Mac allowed the correct "Save As" to create the file KC0XT.adi and that was accepted by LoTW. I will read up on Safari's insistence on giving the file a .webarchive suffix. eQSL must be Mac friendly. Thanks for the dialogue and your assistance.
