Found in 5.3.7, reproduced in 5.3.10.

I entered "W1AW'3" (without the double quotes) in the call sign field for a QSO. (Note the single quote instead of a slant.) The QSO is in the log, but whenever I try to select that line to correct the error, RUMlog gets "An exception of class NilObjectException was not handled. The Application must shutdown."

Just as a note, I have found problems uploading QSOs to LotW with leading and/or trailing spaces.

73 and thanks for all your good work, Bill AE6JV

Never use any quotes ( ' or ") in the logging fields, this will result in a wrong formatted database syntax. I catch this error in the most suspected fields, but never had the idea, somebody puts this character in the call sign field.

This error was a typo that slipped by my old eyes and got in the log. Now I just want to get rid of that line/QSO in the log so I have a properly formatted log.

An hour later ... I was able to remove the QSO by editing the log file in BBEdit, finding all the places where "W1AW'3" appeared (two locations), and changing them to "W1AW/3". I could then remove the QSO using the RUMlog UI.

I feel I can continue to use the log safely, so things are much better.

Don't use a simple text editor, this could destroy your complete log database. Use a database editor instead:
