Log4OM

I've noticed a lot of QSO's have their CQ Zone marked as "0" (Zero).

Providing you are using version 2.5.0.0


Export the log to ADIF

import the ADIF file with checking enabled (option 1) and with drop old log selected

That will rectify and bad zones

Thanks, Terry.

I will do that, but I wonder why so many "Zone 0" suddenly are appearing. Notice my screen snip --- those are all recent QSO's within the last couple of days. Prior to 4/22 I can't find any "Zone 0", now they are commonplace.

OK, I followed your procedure, Terry. (With over 85,000 QSO's in my log, it took a long time!)

It did, in fact, correct the CQ Zone from "0" to whatever was appropriate.

After the procedure was complete, I ran a few more QSO's into the log. Here is a screen clip --- as you can see, the "CQ Zone 0" issue remains.

If it means anything, these Q's were "fed" via UDP to Log4OM (V2.5) from WSJT-x. Also, this is all very recent, maybe since I upgraded to V2.5.

What release of Log4OM are you using and which FT8 software

Log4OM V2.5.
WSJT-X V2.1

Here might be another "clue".

When CQ Zone is recorded as "0', AND the contact is a USA station, then the ITU Zone is always recorded as "6".

I also have noticed zone 0 for some ft8 contacts. I checked the wsjt-x log and they are zone 0 there as well. I did the adif export and import and that fixed them.

Having the same with JTDX. After a search for CQ Zone = 0 it shows me 67 of them. All coming from
JTDX via JTalert. Think not JTalert is the problem it´s on WSJT-X/JTDX. Export and import doing
the same for me.

FWIW, I use WSJT-X and JTAlert, and I have never had a Zone 0 entered in my log from that combination. I don't normally use lookups from QRZ, HamQTH, etc. Harry, you said your WSJT-X log had some zone 0s in it. What WSJT-X are you looking at? I have looked at both my wsjt-x_log.adi and my wsjtx.log. Neither of those have zone information. If you are logging from JTAlert, I think it uses the lastqso.adi to do the logging. It only contains one QSO at a time. It does contain zone information, both CQ and ITU. Once again, I don't have lookups enabled in JTAlert.
