Which of the following file formats is used for exchanging amateur radio log data?

  1. ANEC
  2. BARLD
  3. CADIF
  4. DOCF
Why ADIF stands for Amateur Data Interchange Format, the standard text-based file format logging programs use to exchange QSO records. It lets you move contacts between logging software, upload to Logbook of the World or eQSL, and merge logs after a contest without retyping. Each record is a series of tagged fields such as <CALL>, <BAND>, <MODE> and <QSO_DATE>.
Watch out NEC is the Numerical Electromagnetics Code used for antenna modeling, ARLD is the prefix on ARRL DX news bulletins, and OCF refers to an off-center-fed dipole antenna, none of which have anything to do with log files.
ADIF = Amateur Data Interchange Format. The only choice with 'D' for Data in it.
