Log4OM

I have imported my ADIF log file from LOGic9. All the data is present and the DXCC entity number shows up correctly for each imported QSO but the name of the country does not show up in the country field. If I manually add a new QSO to the database, however, the country description displays as it should. I updated the current DXCC list before the import and I also did not request LOG4OM to update countries when the ADIf log was imported.

Is this normal? I would like to see both the country name as well as the entity number for the imported QSOs

Thanks for the help. Bill N4iQ

I just saw a similar post in the form responding to MM0ZBH's question.

i am using only one call sign in the imported data as far as I know. I imported over 25k QSOs and there could be an error in the operator field but I don't think so. I will check.

Your instructions were:

In that case (if one call sign for operator)

MAKE A BACKUP
MAKE A BACKUP
MAKE A BACKUP

QSO ARCHIVE
remove filter limits (count = 0) in the lower right part of the qso grid
select all QSO
open MASSIVE QSO UPDATE
check "verify operator/station callsign"
check SIMULATION
execute checks button
if everything is ok

MAKE A BACKUP
MAKE A BACKUP
MAKE A BACKUP

execute the last part without the simulation checkbox

****************
Are you saying backup the data three times for safety/security reasons, then perform an QSO ARCHIVE operation using the setting described (not sure how to "open MASSIVE QSO UPDATE")? I will see if I can do this tonight. I may need some further help.

Hi Bill,

You need to check "update Countries" in order for the country name field to be populated. Just re-import your log with that checked and you should be good to go.

Hi Bill & Doug,

A word of caution. When importing an ADIF log I tried checking the "update countries" box, and it changed many of the DXCC codes as well as the countries. Most of these were for stations contacted away from their home DXCC areas. Am I right in assuming that the program did a lookup using the DX's callsign and (re)assigning a DXCC code based on the callsign's home-country prefix?

On import we rely on country file, clublog exception list, scl exception list, clublog cq areas and a bit of magic.
QSO date is also taken into account. I'm curious to see a sample of QSO that have "wrong" DXCC realigned to something else. Can you please send us some samples?

Thanks

Thanks Daniele. So Log4OM does a thorough country check indeed. When I have a spare moment I'll repeat the test of transferring this log of around 3000 entries from HRD via an ADIF file, and report back.

Thanks for the nice logging program. Cheers ... Tony
