ADIF import ITU Zone 6 to 8

Post by w9mdb »

Was importing a Field Day log from WSJT-X and noticed that Log4OM said it was changing ITU Zone from 6 to 8.
8 is the correct answer but was wonder why 6 is the default value? Shouldn't it default to blank?

Ciao Mike, no unfortunately we didn't set a "blank" default in the app for those codes.
Next release should make this identification even more precise, in the meanwhile i'm evaluating the impact of having a blank value for that (blank = 0)

My suggestion is to leave all fields blank that aren't known. For example, JA1XYZ is CQ Zone 25, but N1ZYX is an unknown zone. It could be 3, 4 or 5 (possibly others). Since it isn't known, please leave it blank. I know that lookups from QRZ, etc, can provide the info, but it isn't always there, nor is it always accurate when it is there (the reason I don't use lookups). I used CQ Zone as an example, but this should apply to any field.
