The mParks Converter Utility was created to quickly and easily switch your activation logs from WWFF format to POTA format or vice versa.

The WWFF and POTA Park IDs are unique and correspond to the same park with the same name.
The difference between a WWFF log and a POTA log are made in the MY_SIG, MY_SIG_INFO, SIG and SIG_INFO field values.

It's a simple but tedious job to manually change the MY_SIG and SIG values from or to POTA from WWFF or vice versa.
It's a little more onerous to look up the activation park and every park to park contact to replace it with the corresponding IF number from the other program.
Fortunately, the ParksnPeaks website provides an API for querying the Park IDs and other information where required. Armed with this ability, it is a perfect automation task to search and replace the values in the adif log file and re-write the log file using the naming convention for the other program.
