ERROR: Wrong QSO my loc: LAKE J

Whenever I try to import an ADIF file into CQRLOG, I get the error message in the Subject field above. I have tried several times with different files, getting the same result. My location in Preferences is Lake Jackson, Texas. I tried changing it to LAKE J with no change in outcome. Suggestions appreciated.

This error means that you have entered own grid (locator) in incorrect format.

Thanks for the response. What is the correct format?

In Preferences my grid square is shown as EL29gb.

Your grid in preferences is just fine. It seems the problem is in your ADIF file. MY_GRIDSQUARE tag has wrong format.

Thanks. That fixed it. I would have never guessed that cause from the error message.

There was no MY_GRIDSQUARE tag in the entries in the ADIF file. I seldom use that log entry.
