ADIF Import: use STATE field for regional Administrative subdivisions
Posted: 28 Dec 2019, 19:07
All,
what I'm really trying to do is importing the ADIF log of a Swiss contest where every QSO exchange includes the "Canton", i.e. a Regional Identifier specific to Switzerland. There are Awards bound to that.
According to the ADIF 3.0.8 specs, the "STATE" QSO Field has a Data Type "Enumeration", and the values are the "Primary Administrative Subdivisions", as listed in III.B.11 of the Standard.
These Subdivisions are specific to the country and are fully listed in the Standard, including Switzerland
So I edited the ADIF file to be imported to list the Swiss Canton in the "STATE" field, example:
...<MODE:3>SSB <CALL:5>HB9EI <RST_SENT:2>59 <RST_RCVD:2>59 <SRX:3>001 <OPERATOR: 6>HB9CAT <STATE:2>TI <EOR>
No error was generated during the import, but I don't see any Canton in the "State" field of the log
Am I doing anything wrong or is the software only importing the State for US stations ?
