Multiples QTH profiles don't work with TQSL/LoTW?

Greetings to this community.

I have recently installed CQRLOG, I have completed all my QSO's and little by little I am getting the hang of this good tool.

I have already managed to export to eQSL, but now I have problems exporting to LoTW. I have installed TQSL completing all the process including the certificate.

The question is: I use different QTH profiles. This is because nowadays I never transmit from home, it is always in portable mode, in different locations in the region.

I have defined both in CQRLOG and TQSL those profiles, taking care that the names of the different profiles match exactly. But it does not work. The error:

Starting export to adif ...
Export to the adif file completed.
File:
/home/alkazaba/.config/cqrlog/lotw/2021-05-22_17-33-22.adi
Signing adif file ...
TQSL Version 2.3.1 [pkg-v2.3.1]
No se pudo encontrar la ubicaciĆ³n de estaciĆ³n seleccionada
Estado Final: Error en la sintaxis del comando (10)

Are there any forbidden characters in QTH names?

For example, one of my QTH is: Espacio Scout 'Aguas Blancas'

Thanks advanced

Hi !

With quick peek to source it seems that Tqsl line parser uses space as delimiter.
That could make fail with 2 part qth names like 'Aguas Blancas'. Perhaps you can replace space with underscore _ and try again.

It is just Tqsl redefinition of station location nickname.
You just first filter qsos by qth profile, then choose lotw export qsos that have never been uploaded before and at sign phase select tqsl_nicname for that qth profile. If qth profile nicname is changed with Tqsl program it should not affect to existing or upcoming lotw qsos.

I have performed a test. I

I have performed a test. I set up a filter for one of the QTHs that is a single word. With the filter applied I tried to upload the QSOs to LoTW. Same error.

Hi Antonio!

And the cqrlog is 2.5.2 ? There are problems in earlier versions if password has some special characters.
Have you tried to log to LoTW web page with your call and password that is in preferences/LoTW/EQSL support, does it work ?

Have you tried to run cqrlog from command line with debug and study what the output says:

cqrlog --debug=1 > /tmp/debug.txt

Yes, i have 2.5.2.

Yes, i have 2.5.2.

Problem solved, although the methodology is somewhat cumbersome.

In practice I have 3 QTH profiles defined for operations away from home (i.e. always).

Well, in CQRLOG, apply filter by location, then from the LoTW menu export the ADIF. Location by location. Independent ADIF files.

From TQSL proceed to sign and send each of the ADIF files, and the application asks which QTH profile you want to use.

It has been laborious, but it has worked. From now on, every day that I do activity, do the operation punctually. Now it was about the QSO's I had accumulated since 2020.

It seems that the direct upload to LoTW from CQRLOG managing several QTH profiles doesn't work, or has a trick that I can't figure out.

But at least I now have all my activity in LoTW.

Thanks for your interest.

Hi Antonio!

It sounds weird. You do just what cqrlog should do. That's why I do not understand why you do not get it to work.
See my picture added.

First open qso list and create filter to select qsos from certain qth location.
Then select QSL and LoTW and Upload qsos to LoTW.
From that window select qsos that have never been uploaded (as your filter selects all qsos from qth)
Be sure that tqsl command line arguments is modified only in qth profile name text part.

Open Tqsl/edit station location and there at last window for qth profile edit you should have same string as in cqrlog's lotw export command line parameters

On the other hand be sure that preferences/LoTW/Eqsl support has your working LoTW password.

With these settings it should work, and has worked for me so far.
Procedure is just the same you say you now do manually.
