How do I turn an ADX into an ADI?

Open the .adx here and choose Save log as → ADIF (.adi). Every QSO and field goes across; text from the _INTL fields is written into the ordinary fields, because ADI has no _INTL fields.

Is the log uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.

Does it read an ADX file from Ham Radio Deluxe?

Yes. Ham Radio Deluxe saves ADX as UTF-16, which some readers cannot open; it is recognised here automatically.

Open an ADX file — an ADIF ham radio log in XML

Drop the .adx here and the log opens as a table of QSOs with search and filters, the same way an .adi does — and saves as ADI for programs that read only that, or as Excel and CSV.

What a .adx file is

ADX is ADIF written as XML: the same fields as an .adi file, but each one as an element like <CALL>K1ABC</CALL>, with QSOs inside <RECORD> and a <HEADER> at the top. It is part of the ADIF standard and allows text in any language through fields ending in _INTL. Ham Radio Deluxe, MacLoggerDX, RUMlogNG and QLog are among the programs that write it. (Other unrelated formats use .adx too — an ADX file from a car tuning program or a game’s audio is not a radio log.)

Fewer programs read ADX than ADI, so an .adx often has to be turned into .adi before the next program will take it. Here it opens directly — including Ham Radio Deluxe files saved as UTF-16 — and saves as ADI, with the international text written the way ADI expects.

What you can do here

Any logging programEach program writes ADIF its own way — field lengths counted in bytes or in characters, Latin-1 or UTF-8, UTF-16 from Ham Radio Deluxe. All of them open with every accent in its place: São Paulo stays São Paulo.

Nothing is lostEvery field is kept, including the ones a program adds for itself (APP_ fields) and user-defined ones, so saving the log again does not drop anything.

Messy files tooA field with a wrong length, a log that ends without its last end-of-record, the comments LoTW writes after its values — read the way the program meant them.
