Dave, Thank you and all the others for helping me get my logs transferred to DXLab.? I have one final error to clear up to finish this initial set of log?imports.?
?
This op appears to be from Moscow, Russia, which seems to be ADIF Country Code 54, Oblast 170, CQ zone 17, ITU zone 29, UA3{ABC} per ADIF 3.0.3 Specifications.? It seems like DXKeeper does not like the "district" KR-14.? It would be happy with KR-13 or KR-15 (from the pull-down menu, no KR-14). The ADIF 3.0.3 Specifications link to the RDA List shows:? "KR-14 BELOREChENSK NEW RDA since 01.01.2025." Is it possible that this new KR-14 is missing from DXKeeper?
+ To obtain an updated Secondary Subdivision Database that reflects the RDA List changes made in January, see

/g/DXLab/message/227144

+Ordinarily, the updated Secondary Subdivision Database would have been included in a next version of DXKeeper by now, but I'm extending "Realtime Award Tracking" to support pursuit of the new IOTA HF and VHF award categories, which is a significant development effort in both DXKeeper and SpotCollector.

+ Alternatively, to stop DXKeeper from considering a QSO with inconsistent Primary or Secondary Subdivisions to be "broken", uncheck the "Subdivision validity checking" box in the "Other Awards" panel along the right side of the Configuration window's Awards tab.

I'm thinking the error, in part, is the CQ zone of 16, where the ADIF 3.0.3 specification indicates CQ zone 17 for Moscow.??

DXKeeper is flashing "district" on the "Log QSO" tab in the "Award" panel.

I'm not sure of how to correct this error, thanks for any help:

I still see log entries in the log window at the bottom of the "Log QSOs" tab.? I think they should be gone after this operation.? Two log entries are highlighted in pink.? The callsign for one of the highlighted calls is displayed in the top " panel on this QSO:" "Log QSOs" tab.

I thought the above set of actions would empty my logbook.

I assumed I should have deleted the contents of my log.? I see that one callsign entry is highlighted in pink.? If I choose No, nothing happens other than the text box closes.? If Yes, then I get a DXKeeper QRZ Subscriber login text box that says "No QRZ callsign specified.? I do not currently subscribe to QRZ.

Since I'm not very far into it, starting over seemed like a good idea and might be good.? That QSO was one of my first and I sure could have made errors in the contest log that I uploaded to L32.? I could well be user errors.? I made another contact in that same contest on a different band with KR1STA and there were no errors in that part of the upload.

I don't understand why I could not import the ADIF Master "one contact" log.? Again, I'm trying to understand what I did wrong at this point.? Seemed like a no-brainer.

I'm getting a QRZ warning and need to step through the import process.? I was going to read the manual to find how/where I fix the QRZ issue.? A point to the right reading would be helpful.? I'm guessing I need to input my QRZ PW or something into DXLAb somewhere.

+ Just to be clear, the root cause of this situation is that the logging application from which you exported the ADIF file allowed you to log a QSO with inconsistent components: a DXCC entity of "Continental US" with a State of "Hawaii". DXKeeper imported the ADIF record, and informed you of the inconsistency so that you could correct it. DXKeeper couldn't automatically perform the correction because it has no way of knowing which item is incorrect: the DXCC entity, or the State.

If you've already imported the log, make the change in
DXKeeper's Log QSOs tab. Select the QSO and make the
change to either: Code (set to 110), DXCC (set to KH6)
or Entity (set to Hawaii). It could not be more simple.

if he is using Adif Master, that is much better then just a text editor for most.
its quite easy to edit a text file and miss the character count, which will cause errors.

I was thinking if its only 2 entries, you could just re enter them directly in the log.
if you are trying to tweak an adi file you need to change
<CONT:2>NA<CQZ:1>4<DXCC:3>291 ?<ITUZ:1>7? ?? to ?? <CONT:2>OC<CQZ:1>31<DXCC:3>110? <ITUZ:2>61
