An operator worked the RSGB IOTA contest in another logger and got back records
carrying <STATE:5>EU005: N1MM-class software stores the received exchange in the
column its contest module uses, not the one ADIF reserves. Imported verbatim,
every QSO gains a US-state field reading "EU005" and the IOTA award sees
nothing — the reference is in the log, just not where anything looks for it.
The import dialog gains optional source → destination rows, prefilled with
STATE → IOTA since that is the case that prompted it. Applied to the RAW record
before conversion, so it works for promoted columns and Extras alike and the
destination is parsed exactly as if the file had carried it there.
Two rules, both from the same principle that the file outranks our guess:
- the source is CLEARED, so a reference does not linger in STATE where it
would show as the contacted station's US state in the grid and every export;
- a destination the file already filled is kept, judged against the record as
it ARRIVED — otherwise the result would depend on Go's map iteration order,
which is deliberately random.
The swap case in the test is what forced that second rule to be stated: "never
overwrite" and "exchange two fields" cannot both hold silently, so a destination
that is itself a mapping source is treated as an explicit swap and nothing else
is overwritten.
Backend (Go 1.25 / Wails v2):
- QSO storage on SQLite (modernc) with embedded migrations (0001..0005)
- Streaming ADIF import (batch insert) + WorkedBefore per callsign and DXCC
- Callsign lookup with QRZ.com + HamQTH providers (primary/failsafe routing)
and SQLite-backed TTL cache
- DXCC resolver from cty.dat (auto-download, longest-prefix-match)
- Multi-profile operator identities (home/portable/SOTA/contest) — every
QSO stamps MY_* from the active profile
- CAT control via OmniRig COM on a single OS-locked goroutine, with
bidirectional sync (freq/mode/band/split/VFOs) and Rig1/Rig2 hot-swap
- Settings store (key/value), CAT debug log at %APPDATA%/HamLog/cat.log
Frontend (React 18 + TypeScript + Tailwind v4 + shadcn-style):
- Single-row entry strip with CAT-aware band/mode/freq, RST, Start/End
UTC, per-field locks (band/mode/freq/start/end) for backdated QSOs
- Topbar: live freq (MHz.kHz.Hz dotted), live UTC, band/mode/SPLIT badges,
CAT pill with rig selector and clickable Azimuth pill (rotor TODO)
- Settings tree: Profiles (Log4OM-style manager), Station Information
(edits the active profile), unified Callsign Lookup with Test buttons,
Bands/Modes lists, CAT
- Worked-before matrix (band × mode × class) with new-DXCC highlighting
- ADIF import from menu + Maintenance > Refresh cty.dat
