Don’t worry Gabriela, we’ll check the import and figure out why it isn’t setting your location correctly!
Thank you. In Addition of living in China I have noticed grid squares are have not been set. I manually changed some, but I don’t think I will make a habit of it.
@KN4YAQ one way you can fix this in the meantime if needed is to use QSO manager to do a bulk update on all the contacts to change the location, if they are all in the same location! Thanks for your patience here
Thanks for the suggestion. I also wanted to update you. I looked at the log for iFTx app for iOS iPad in .txt and noticed that the lat/lon is incorrect based on my location EH65. I reached out to see how to resolve to the developer and have had no response.
Hi @KN4YAQ don’t worry, we’re here to help! We won’t rest until we’ve got it fully resolved and working for you.
Do you mind sending a link to the contact that has the incorrect location, and we will take a detailed look? Just click into the contact and copy the URL from your browser, if possible. Thanks so much!
To clarify, what I have found is that the issue I am experiencing is related to the iFTx app for iOS, not with WRL. The LAT/LON values generated by the iFTx app do not match my actual location based on my gridsquare (EM65hf).
Here’s the relevant log entry from the iFTx app:
BAND:310mCALL:4K7FROPERATOR:6KN4YAQMODE:3FT8<QSO_DATE:8>20241220<TIME_ON:6>234044<QSO_DATE_OFF:8>20241220<TIME_OFF:6>234115<RST_RCVD:2>-6<RST_SENT:2>-5FREQ:628.074DXCC:3291CQZ:15ITUZ:18<MY_GRIDSQUARE:6>EM65hfCOUNTRY:24United States Of America<MY_LAT:11>N035 13.749<MY_LON:11>E087 22.500<TX_PWR:9>20.000000
As you can see, the latitude (N035 13.749) and longitude (E087 22.500) values do not correspond to the expected coordinates for my gridsquare (EM65hf). And this is repeated with every contact on the logs from the app. I am in Tennessee and the latitude/Longitude puts me in China. I have reached out to the developer of the iFTx app for assistance but have not received a response.
Ohh okay @KN4YAQ ! We cannot help with the iFTx app, so as long as everything is working on the WRL app side, we will considered this fixed on our end!
