ARRL International DX contest SSB - Logging error

Below is the error that showed up when I tried to submit my log just now.

The “QTH sent” is missing from the log, I believe that was from the setup of the log. I am not sure if it is something I did wrong or if it was missed in the formatting of the log.

I had the same issue (I did not report) on my Winter Field Day log.

Since I only had a small number of contacts I was able to quickly manually edit the file. ____________________________________________________________

**ERROR–>**Following QSO errors were found:

  • Number of fields in each QSO line fewer than minimum expected(11)

First time using World Radio league during a Arrl event submitted log was rejected multiple errors including power reports that was clearly good on the File. Not sure what to do next maybe use another program it will take a while

Did you fill out the My Exchange? That was my issue and it might be yours. If you didn’t, then click on it, put in your state, build another ADIF and submit that.

Just a note to the team. This is the second time I’ve made this mistake so perhaps this needs to be highlighted in some way? Maybe you can’t actually start the log at all until it’s filled in with a push notification along the lines of “hey dummy, fill in this box!” :sweat_smile:

@W7YBY We dont want to limit logging in any way. We’ll come up with something, maybe flashing bright red or something lol lol

@N2FSM Hey Barry,

For your issue, its just you didn’t fill out your exchange. There is a field underneath the log contact button inside your contest logbook that is called ‘my exchange’ just click it and add your exchange and then re-export your Cabrillo log.

Thanks & 73

@KM4IYW Hey Todd,

In your case, while you did add the ‘my exchange’ information; there are a few QSO’s that dont have an exchange (see below). Regardless of which logging app you used ARRL would kick the log back with missing data. Just go in and add data to the missing entries

Thanks & 73
