 From what I can make out, a message on the Club Log forum will often 
get the problem sorted out.

I've certainly found that Michael (G7VJR) is very responsive and willing 
to sort out things and the messages on the forums indicate that Alan 
(5B4AHJ) responds quickly to any concerns raised about validation.

What happens when you upload your ADIF is that you get an emailed 
message back telling you the callsign, date and time of the QSO and what 
you had the country logged as, and then what Club Log thinks is correct. 
  If you can provide evidence that you are correct then an exception is 
created to cover the new information.

One of mine was as follows

Callsign: RK6FS Date: 2000-08-27 10:45:14   Band: 10QSL: Yes
Your log claims GEORGIA. Overriding your choice and using EUROPEAN RUSSIA.

Now, I reckon Club Logs is right about that, so I've amended my log to 
show what I now believe is the correct country.  If I didn't, I could 
contact 5B4AHJ and provide whatever proofs I had to say it wasn't as the 
system thinks, and these conversations are going on so it's not that 
Club Log is ignoring what you think it's just that it believes its own 
database until someone provides evidence to the contrary.

2010-01-11 Thread DANNY DOUGLAS
I had a bunch of pages of rejected contacts, where it tried to say they were 
different countries, than I had logged.  They were correct on a few of the 
eastern block USSR countries, when all the changes were being made there.  Most 
of those have been straightened out, and the only mistakes now are such things 
as its refusal to accept mobile contacts such as stateside/M4, still wanting to 
log them as England.  Changes are being made on a constant basis, and each one 
brings the data base more up-to-date, and correct.  If one has definite proof, 
such as a QSL card, or some data base showing the correct country, then club 
log guys are more than willing to straighten the items out.
But, you cannot expect them to be 100 prcent correct, as of this stage.  I had 
a couple of contacts with expedition guys, usign separate calls, at the 
expedition sites, and they bounced them, until I proved that indeed they were 
correct, and it came out I was the only one (so far) who uploaded those 
particular calls to the system.

  There have been several reports on the DXLab reflector that Club Log ignores 
the DXCC entity uploaded with each QSO, attempts to determine the DXCC entity 
itself from its database, and sometimes gets it wrong.

  Thanks Andy

  Can I correct the URL: http://www.clublog.org

  ClubLog is a GREAT facility. The best bit is that it helps you to correct 
  the actual DXCC entity that you have worked. There is a massive database of 
  callsign sitting behind it that tells you if the VP8 that you worked was in 
  the Falklands or Antarctica etc.
