While looking at dxkeeper in prep for wfd. I did not find a drop down choice for wfd . I did see fd option. But The rules are different + DXKeeper's "Contest ID" selector is prepopulated with the contest names specified in ADIF: http://adif.org.uk/311/ADIF_311_annotated.htm#Contest_ID + but you can type in any "Contest ID" that you like. + Note that DXKeeper can only export a Cabrillo log for contests listed in the large table in https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxkeeper/Help/Contesting.htm + If you're serious about contesting, my advice is to log with N1MM. You can either export an ADIF file from N1MM at the end of the contest and import that file into DXKeeper, or you can employ the N1MM-DXKeeper gateway, which imports each QSO into DXKeeper as you log it in N1MM: https://www.dxlabsuite.com/N1MM-DXKeeper/index.htm 73, Dave, AA6YQ

I find it very easy and convenient to create an N1MM+ ADIF after the contest and upload it to DXK. I haven’t tried the N1MM+ DXK gateway yet. I also export a Cabrillo file from N1MM+ and upload it to the contest administration.

Here's another good reason to wait until after the contest is over to export you log to DXKeeper.
If you tend to make errors while in a contest, like I do, you now have to make the correction in the N1MM+ log AND go over to DXKeeper and make the same change there. That takes a lot more time.
OK, back in my hole,
