    This $29.95 subscription is for the XML lookup feature that is different from the QRZ Logbook, but without directly saying so, does include activation of the QRZ Logbook ADIF Uploads and Downloads as do the higher level subscriptions. Go for it!

    The "more logbook programs" indicated in the XML feature refers to logbook programs other than the QRZ Logbook program. Using the XML feature these various other logbook programs are allowed direct lookup access the QRZ Callsign Database thereby eliminating the need to first go to the QRZ.com home page.

    this means I could create an ADIF file from my QRZ log and use it for LOTW?

    Yes, the QRZ-produced ADIF file should work with LoTW, eQSL and other programs that utilize ADIF files.

    ADIF files are text fles arranged using ADIF protocal, see www.adif.org Each data field is identified but it is not necessary that all fields defined in the protocol standard be present in a file, only those fields that are identical with the receiving party's needs. The file may include more data than needed, no problem, as all data items are identified as to what they are and will be ignored.
