data, and that could lead to the "run time error 3075" to appear in certain
circumstances.
QSO entry: When some of the options to assume the mode (CW or SSB)
depending on the report sent had been selected and a report like +1, +23,
-21, -23, etc. was entered, the mode was wrongly assumed.
Real-time upload to Clublog:
Corrected a bug that could lead the upload
process to stop when Clublog rejects an error because of wrong data. As a
side effect VQLog could be locked for about 15-20 seconds from time to
time. IMPORTANT: Users having noticed this
issue should go to "Configuration - Program options" and in the "Log
upload" tab click the "Empty queue" button corresponding to CLUBLOG and
also temporarily disable the option of keeping the log updated at

Award tracking:
If the WAJA (Worked all Japan award) is configured and the callbook
lookup enabled, the program will try, when entering a new QSO, to assume de
award reference from the post address provided by the callbook. Please
understand that callbooks don't provide the JA prefecture as an specific
data but, in the best of the cases, as an unformatted text somewhere in the
post address. VQLog can't guarantee that the WAJA reference can always be
assumed from the post address, but it will do in most of the cases, so you
must see this feature as a help if you are interested in this award.
Requires to use an updated WAJA Award Definition File (ADF).
If the USACA (USA Counties award) is configured and the callbook
lookup enabled, the program will try, when entering a new QSO, to assume de
award reference from the information provided by the callbook.

Disables automatic date/time update in order to make sure that contacts
are registered with the right time.
QSL indicators update from LoTW, eQSL o ADIF: Apart from the QSL
indicators, locator, IOTA and WAS, that already were updated in the former
version, it will also try to update the references of the WAJA, CDA, OBLAST and USACA
awards, if these have been configured. Requires to use an
updated WAJA,
CDA, OBLAST, USACA, USACA2 or USACA3 Award Definition File (ADF).
IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you
don't have the USACA award already defined and you want to add it as a new
award it is highly recommended that you make use of the new USACA3 ADF. If you
already have the USACA award defined with the USACA or USACA2 ADF then you
simply should update the ADF file.
OMNIRIG: For those who like to map digital modes to USB/LSB modes in the
rig.

modes in the rig.
Main improvements &
changes in version 3.1 (build 514)
Auto-logging from WSJT-X, JTDX, etc:
Avoid recording QSO if the own
locator configured in WSJT-X / JTDX is only 4 character long, as VQLog

every time until a 6 character long own locator is set in WSJT-X / JTDX
configuration.
Possibility to configure that when the source program is not providing
the own callsign and/or own locator (MSHV for instance) the auto-logging

status for QSL received/sent via Direct, Buro, LoTW and eQSL
Possibility to register the date the QSL was received/sent,
independently for each via (Direct, Buro, LoTW and eQSL)
Notice that due to the requirement of compatibility with old QSO data
that don't have yet the new independent QSL indicators set, the old "E"
value will continue meaning "Electronic QSL" generically, unless you update
the QSO manually. In this case the "E" will be in orange colour, to
distinguish it from the new indication of QSL sent/received via EQSL, that
will be shown as an "E" in black colour. Also in the summaries where
only a generic QSL status indication is shown, "E" will continue meaning
"Electronic QSL", either LoTW or eQSL.

Some minor problems in the distance calculation in some summaries and statistics have
been fixed.
