A tool to convert a simple and easily typed CSV file into an ADIF file suitable for submission to Parks on the Air (POTA) along with Logbook of the World.
I use paper logs when operating in the field and needed a tool to get those logs into POTA and LotW as quickly as possible.
The expected CSV format is the following:
timeon,call,freq,park
100102,TESTCALL,,K-1234
...
You can name those 4 fields anything you want, but they have to mean the same thing as in the example. You can change "freq" in the header to "frequency" for example without causing issues.
Timeon is HHMMSS formatted and is assumed to already be in UTC. If you don't specify freq, the default freq passed to log4pota is used. The park field is ignored if blank, otherwise the park designator for a park-to-park contact is put in the sig_info field of the resulting adif.
Band is automatically determined from the frequency.
I don't operate CW, so this tool assumes SSB as the mode. Feel free to find-and-replace in the output if you do operate CW. Digital modes tend to have their own logging facilities so I've omitted that here.
