Hi Phil,

 

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Could you check the same problem using the version from github? (1.5)

What was your *sent* exchange? I.e. fixed or a serial or a combination of both?

Hello Thomas.  I used TLF 1.4.1 for Field Day and it was great. Please keep up the good work.

However, upon exporting the log as ADIF, I discovered a bug. The exchange for Field Day is alphanumeric, like "3A STX", but TLF exports this using STX and SRX field tags. This is not legal ADIF. Please see the spec. here: https://adif.org/312/ADIF_312.htm#QSO_Field_SRX

The SRX and STX fields may only contain a single numeric value and nothing else. To export an exchange like "3A STX" you must use the STX_STRING or SRX_STRING tags.

I noticed the problem because the exchanges were not importing to CQRLog. Examination revealed the malformed ADIF.
