ITU Zone Changed

Post by N6VH »

After my most recent download from LOTW, I noticed that one Log4OM changed the ITU zone in one QSO from 7 to 6. The LOTW entry for that station (KZ0US) did not have any zone listed, so that shouldn't be the reason for the change. Is it possible that Log4OM is just making the change if there is no zone listed? Incidentally, I don't use lookups, so that shouldn't be the problem. I did not find KZ0US in either clublog.xml or country.xml. so no problem there, either. KZ0US is clearly in ITU 7. While this might seem to be a trivial matter, it is possible that similar changes could be made with other calls and even with CQ zones. I see that previous QSOs with KZ0US were also changed. Why would Log4OM make such a change if there is no data to support the change? Here is an excerpt from the LOTW download:

[13]KZ0US|2/26/2022 11:08:08 PM|20m|RTTY
*** NEW CONFIRMATION [United States]
ITU ZONE updated from 7 to 6
COUNTY updated from to MO,CHRISTIAN // Christian

Here is a screen capture of the LOTW confirmation:
