   My fancy electronic logbook is an Excel spreadsheet. This makes it easy   
   to asve in any format. I also have an Excel template in which I can   
   paste my basic data to create an adif file. Very easy to do. LOTW needs   
   the callsign, date, time, band, and mode. Paste the raw data to the   
   template, grab and paste the results to a text file, save as text and   
   give it a .adi suffix.
