The ADIF format now includes the new 5m & 8m bands
Amateur Data Interchange Format (ADIF) is an open standard for the exchange of data between various amateur radio software packages from different vendors. For example, it allows for the import and export of data between various logbook programs.
In the most recent edition updated on the 2nd of September 2020, the new 5-meter (60 MHz) and 8-meter (40 MHz) bands were added.
