OK, so I don't have LibreOffice and my version of Excel doesn't have the Toolpak.
It took a bit longer to find a converter online than one would expect, but here is an example,
perhaps PF-USA could just mention it or link to it from their website:

Again, thanks for your help, I'll give it a try.

Recall the post from Dan Daly a few message earlier in this thread. A
much easier route to your Mode S code in hex format.

===========
First two steps can be combined if you use
http://www.avionictools.com/icao.html; this gives both hex and octal
(dunno why you'd need the octal for FLARM) addresses directly for N-
and C- registrations. Stuff that into your PF - which you have to
configure anyway to tell it it's in a glider - and register it on
FLARMnet. Took a few seconds for me today.

Now, if I could only figure out where to put the flarmnet file for it
to read into my Brick...
