Log4OM

This morning I had a cluster spot for 3D2AG indicating country of Fiji. I click it and worked him. In the upper station lookup area, he was marked as Country of Rotuna Is. as it was after logging in the Recent QSO's (F7) view. Why the difference?

I did the same thing in V1 and the lookup returned and the log logged country Fiji. Which is where he was.

My lookup is QRZ.com which indicates Fiji. The Detail on him says he was working a DXExpedition ...

Oh buggers: https://dx-world.net/3d2ag-p-rotuma/

Maybe did V2 find he was on a DXExpedition and should have still been had not for the tragic event above? I think his call should have been 3D2AG/p during that however.

Confused.

Hello Mike,

Log4OM can´t think anything, HI. We are working with external lists like Country List and Clublog Data. So
something is wrong in the external sources i beleave. Normally 3D2AG without /p extension is Fiji and with
the /p it´s Rotuma Isl.. That´s what his side at qrz.com said. For now you may change it manually to Fiji
so i´m think that this is correct after he stopped Rotuma DXpedition in January for the death of his 11 year
old son.

What you can do is doing an update in V1 for the different lists like SCL, Clublog and Country List and take
a look it show´s then Rotuma too instead of Fiji. Please report, thank you.

Juergen,

I did as you suggested. One V1, I downloaded SCL, Clublog, Country and Lotw lists one at a time. After each I entered 3D2AG into the Callsign field. The Country always displays Fiji. As does 3D2AG/P.

Back on V2. When I enter 3D2AG it 'breifly' displays Fiji but then changes to Rotuma Is.

Another thing I tried. I entered 3D2AF. In both V1 and V2, the country selected and displayed is Fiji.

Another example: If I'd click filter "Hide worked" I'd miss this spot of a NEW ONE.

But it's only a new one on cw on that band!

You have worked the country so it's not a NEW ONE!

As a FYI after a country file update the info in the QSO entry area does not update right away.

To prove this I went into the Country File XML and changed Canada's name to upnorth.

They were showing up in the cluster as upnorth. I forced a new country file update and they started showing up as Canada immediately in the cluster but when I clicked them they still showed up as upnorth in the QSO box until I restarted Log4OM

Terry,

My question is not in regard to a NEW ONE it is why it is marked as Falkland Is in the Cluster F8 grid but as South Orkney Is up top?

(In regard to NEW ONE - If I filtered the cluster grid to show only new ones, I would not have seen the spot at all because I have worked Falkland Is. and therefor I would have missed an actual new one, South Orkney Is. At least when they get on the air tomorrow).

Mike by the way mine is reporting it the same way.

The country.xml file has VP8 listed as Falkland Is and VP8O as South Orkney Is

Cluster checks prefix against country file but inserting call in input field does a deep search of all lookup facilities including QRZ, Clublog etc so it gets a better match.

Terry,

That is interesting.

Here is my setup



If I use Mikes VP8PJ as an example it shows up as Falkland Islands in the Country File. But if you look them up on QRZ.com they show up as South Orkney.

So just trying to under how the logic works. Why would it choose the 3rd choice (external source) over the Priority 1 (max) in the "deep search" you mentioned.
