Hi folks,
Most times I don´t get a distance calculation in the main window and in my log, sometimes I have one.
On what is the distance calculation depending?

Distance is calculated on the distance between your grid locator and that of the other station

Hello Thomas, are these contacts logged directly in Log4OM or are that imported contacts ?
If imported and the import ADIF does not contain a distance it stays at 0 so Log4OM don´t
calculate anything while importing.

Hi Juergen,
QSO´s are rerouted via Gridtracker, there I have activated the direct logging to Log4OM and I have an inbound rule in Log4OM as ADIF_MESSAGE.
Gridtracker is showing the distance correct in its call rooster, mabe it´s missing in the ADIF message from GT to Log4OM?
Maybe there is another combination between JTDX, Gridtracker and Log4OM, which works better.

This also happens when i do a import of QSO's from my contest logger dxlog.net ,don't think it happened in the log4om 1 versions, i never saw 0 distance there.
I can be fixed in the "QSO manager". Select all QSO's that don't have distance then go to the "QSO Checks" tab. You probably have to deselect SIMULATION

I tried to update the missing distance values via QSO manager - QSO check. But it also doesn´t update the QSO´s with zero value, although both grids are valid.
Maybe there could be a problem in the calculation method of the location-distance formula?
