Managing labels for QSL cards is generally a problem if the data entry software does not include this feature. |
The ADIF to QSL Label helper solution is not an installable software, but a web-based solution, which makes it easy to use and update.
It is possible to:
- import a file in ADIF format
- filter QSOs based on several criteria
- print labels or directly on QSL cards
- configure the label page according to several criteria
- manage columns and their position for printing (date, time, mode, etc.)
- manage label headers and footers
- manage fonts and sizes for all text
- save the configuration for future use
Usage
All you need to do is:
- Export your log in ADIF format from your logbook software.
- Import it onto the website.
- Set up the labels.
- Export the file in PDF format, which can then be printed onto the labels.
When the page loads, a set of QSOs and default settings are displayed.
Loading a file with 120,000 QSOs takes only a few seconds, and filtering takes even less time. This is quite remarkable compared to other ADIF management software!
