Hello Everyone,
I use N3FJP ACLog on my home computer in the shack. When operating portable, I use either PoloLog or HAMRS, then export the ADIF into ACLog. However, even before using these portable logging programs, I encountered this error (screenshot attached).
After a day of operating in the shack, my usual process for uploading logs is:
-
I select the Station Location.
-
I click "All Contacts Not Uploaded".
When I do this, a window pops up saying:
"Errors detected – Station location does not match QSO details."
It also shows a message about the grid square.
I typically hit Ignore and select "Upload New QSOs Only". Sometimes, I go back and manually fix the invalid QSO, but the next time I upload, a different QSO shows up with the same invalid grid issue.
Is there a way to permanently fix this? Can it be bypassed? I’m wondering if I misconfigured the software when I first set it up over a decade ago.
Thanks for the help,
Charlie - WA2NWN

I just click ignore.? ?it is trying to upload a second time, before aclog does not mark as sent the first time, until lotw confirm receipt.
if time passes, I would do a download first, so maybe the N will change to a Y, and then upload will be ok

Hi Charlie,
Thanks for your e-mail.? Create a station location in TQSL with the proper grid square and be sure to select it when uploading the associated QSOs for that location.
Enjoy!

Hi Scott,
?
thanks for the reply. I do not understand how this happens in the first place. Every time I upload. I always select the location I am operating from and I upload after each operating period. Is there a way to see which QSOs in the whole log book need fixing? It seems like I fix this one and the next one is waiting for me.

Hi Charlie,
Thanks for your follow up.? If you already logged the QSOs with the correct grid square, there is no need to edit the QSO records in AC Log.??
That message is being returned from ARRL's TQSL software, not AC Log, because you have not set up and selected the correct station location when signing and upload those specific records in TQSL.? Lots more details and the needed steps to set up a TQSL station location for your additional grid square locations are on ARRL's web site here:
Enjoy!

Got it- Dave walked me through it!

Or you can just have TQSL accept QTH info from the log and not worry about station locations. On Mon, 31 Mar 2025 14:17:28 +0000 (UTC) "Scott Davis via groups.io" <SNKDavis@...> wrote: Hi Charlie,

His issue was he had entries from the past that were not marked as uploaded. Those were from a different grid square. He is now importing his contacts and using upload selected instead of upload all not uploaded.

Wow that's interesting. Wonder which way is better? Separate location files or doing this way
