[WT-support] Adif file problem with QRZ.Com

[Villi Vilepill (ES3VI)]

Hi guys,

I was struggeling to find a reason why QRZ.Com was creating a big mess with my log files exported from win-test.

I have my personal qrz.com logbook ES3VI and also managing our club callbook ES3V.
Now what happend is that even if I upload adif log under ES3V account to the correct logbook, then qrz.com treating every qso
differently according to log. For example we operated Multi-single class in CQWW SSB under ES3V callsign and logged in as operator in win-test accordingly.

Output of the adif file looks like this:
<CALL:4>UX2X <QSO_DATE:8>20191026 <TIME_ON:6>000935 <MODE:3>SSB <BAND:3>80m <FREQ:5>3.740 <RST_SENT:2>59 <STX:2>15 <RST_RCVD:2>59 <SRX:2>16 <OPERATOR:5>ES3VI <DXCC:3>288 <CONTEST_ID:9>CQ-WW-SSB <EOR>

<CALL:5>OH1AF <QSO_DATE:8>20191026 <TIME_ON:6>002942 <MODE:3>SSB <BAND:3>80m <FREQ:5>3.693 <RST_SENT:2>59 <STX:2>15 <RST_RCVD:2>59 <SRX:2>15 <OPERATOR:5>ES2YW <DXCC:3>224 <CONTEST_ID:9>CQ-WW-SSB <EOR>

So this is 2 qsos of the log from the station ES3V, where I was logged in as operator ES3VI , tagged <OPERATOR:5>ES3VI
And second example , where ES2YW was logged in as op and was operating as ES3V multi-op, tagged <OPERATOR:5>ES2YW.

While loading this to qrz.com , first qso was added to ES3VI personal logbook, which was wrong and I was intended to add it to club ES3V logbook ofcourse.
(Actually more than 1000 qsos were added to wrong logbook, so it was quite pain to delete them manually there later. Second qso I have got error as I don't have permission to her logbook (ES2YW), which is good . Othervise would distroy all others operators callbooks as well.

After deep digging , looks like qrz.com was treating it correctly, as Adif version 3.1.0 standard says:
OPERATOR
the logging operator's callsignif STATION_CALLSIGN is absent, OPERATOR shall be treated as both the logging station's callsign and the logging operator's callsignSo, conclusion is that because STATION_CALLSIGN value is absent (should be with every qso), then value from OPERATOR is taken as station callsign.
I have updated our adif file manually to test and this has fixed the qrz.com issue.
After modification, each qso in adif should look like this:
<CALL:4>UX2X <QSO_DATE:8>20191026 <TIME_ON:6>000935 <MODE:3>SSB <BAND:3>80m <FREQ:5>3.740 <RST_SENT:2>59 <STX:2>15 <RST_RCVD:2>59 <SRX:2>16 <STATION_CALLSIGN:4>ES3V <OPERATOR:5>ES2YW <DXCC:3>288 <CONTEST_ID:9>CQ-WW-SSB <EOR>

Could that "STATION_CALLSIGN" be added to adif files with next release for the Multi-OP logs ?
In other words, if OPERATOR is present , then there should be also value for STATION_CALLSIGN.

Best 73's,
