Minimum ADIF Requirement for import / udp

[AE0S]

What fields are required for a successful import of a QSO either via the ADIF file import or ADIF UDP message? I assume, maybe incorrectly, that both are the same.

I tried to load the following file:

Code: Select all

<ADIF_VERS:5>3.1.0 <PROGRAMID:18>Claus' POTA Logger <PROGRAMVERSION:14>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT <EOR>
<QSO_DATE:8>20200617 <TIME_ON:6>201500 <CALL:5>N8OFP <RST_RCVD:2>57 <RST_SENT:2>59 <FREQ:6>14.307 <MODE:0> <MY_SIG_INFO:6>K-2314 <STATION_CALLSIGN:4>AE0S  <BAND:3>20m <MY_COUNTRY:13>United States <MY_STATE:2>IA <MY_CNTY:6>Hardin <MY_GRIDSQUARE:4>EN32 <MY_ITU_ZONE:1>7 <MY_CQ_ZONE:1>4 <EOR>
<QSO_DATE:8>20200617 <TIME_ON:6>201500 <CALL:4>N4EX <RST_RCVD:2>58 <RST_SENT:2>59 <FREQ:6>14.307 <MODE:0> <MY_SIG_INFO:6>K-2314 <STATION_CALLSIGN:4>AE0S  <BAND:3>20m <MY_COUNTRY:13>United States <MY_STATE:2>IA <MY_CNTY:6>Hardin <MY_GRIDSQUARE:4>EN32 <MY_ITU_ZONE:1>7 <MY_CQ_ZONE:1>4 <EOR>

Which caused this import log:

Code: Select all

03:12:50: [IMPORT ADIF FORM] Begin ADIF import task

03:12:52: End of ADIF import

03:12:53: LOG saved
03:12:53: Save completed

It would be nice to print why the QSO was not valid.

Bonus questions:
1) Are UDP ADIF load handled in any way different from ADIF file imports?
2) Should UDP ADIF message include the <<ADIF_VERS... meta data?
3) Is it better to send each QSO in a separate UDP ADIF message?

Oops, the mode was missing

Code: Select all

Mode:  QSO NOT VALID.

I'm blind.

I'd still like to know the answers to my questions though.
