Change in entity for LU1ZI

[K8AJS]

In 2016 and 2017 I had QSOs with LU1ZI on South Shetland Islands, VP8H, the QSOs were confirmed in LotW at the time. Today, I downloaded some confirmations from LotW, and it indicated that contacts that I had in my log for South Shetland Islands were now confirmed on LotW as Antarctica, AND without any input from me CHANGED the DXCC on those contacts in my log to CE9 Antarctica. There seems to be no way for me to change the CE9 on those contacts back to VP8H, where it belongs.

Looking at ClubLog, I see that it still has the contacts correctly logged as South Shetland Islands there. It looks like the team has recently updated their LotW certificate and improperly entered it as Antarctica.

Thankfully, this doesn't affect any of my DXCC credits for the South Shetland Islands, but I would still like to get the entries in my log back to the correct location of LU1ZI when the contacts were made. Can anything be done to accomplish this?

RUMlog uses the LoTW QSL data and corrects or overwrites your data when you have checked the option Use QSL data in the LoTW preferences.
Double click your QSO, change the callsign temporally, change it back to LU1ZI and RUMlog should recalculate the DXCC correct to VP8H again.

Please note: According Club Log, there were short time activities in 2016 from South Shetland only - not in 2017!

Thank you, using that method I was able to change all but one of my QSOs back to VP8H, South Shetland Islands.

Club Log call tester shows the following for 2017:

For QSOs on 2017-02-24 01:25...
LU1ZI maps by prefix to SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS
ADIF 241 [VP8H]
CQ Zone: 13 — Continent: SA
Location: -62.23°N -58.71°E — GC07PS
Beam heading: 169°
SR 08:55 / SS 23:19

In my log on Club Log, it tags all four of my QSOs for South Shetland Islands. The correction method you gave me only changed three of them back in my local log, leaving the 2017 QSO as CE9.

According to news on the ARRL-LOTW mailing list, the situation is currently being investigated at ARRL HQ. I’ll QRX for a while and see if they get it straightened out.

Thanks for your help.

Interesting. These data are not consistent with the data Club Log provides in the xml dxcc database.
You can:

• Ask Club Log for update the xml data base
• Create your own exception: https://dl2rum.de/RUMlogNG/docs/en/page ... tions.html
