Wrong Oblast and RDA designation?

[JW6VDA]

Hello,

Current RDA list included in Swisslog only needed some formatting and adding a couple of missing references but it's updated. I will release a new statistic table later implemeting these small changes. I don't know where you have taken that references from Yaroslavskaya oblast have been given the designation JA instead of YR. Current list since 01/01/2020 reflects these references as YR-xxx. So you don't need to change anything but assign the RDA reference according to the current list. Don't confuse OBLAST and RDA. These are different awards! If double clicking on the RDA field you see any JA-nnn references, you are using a wrong statistic database. In such case go to Tools / For Experts only / Statistic DB then select the file SWLSTAT.MDB located in the C:\Swisslog folder. Close Swisslog, open it again then force an update of the statistic database from the option in the Tools menu. Update even if Swislsog prompts you that you are using latest version.

Regarding the Fix RDA script, this script was need to be executed when RDA changed the list on 2010. Now it's obsolete so I will delete it in the next installer.

Hello Jordi,  and thanks for your quick response-  I am well aware of the difference between Oblasts and RDAs. I will follow the instructions about the statistcs database.

Regarding your question where the JA Oblast designation For Yaroslavsk (Jaroslavsk) came from, it came from Swisslog. See the screenshots from the Add QSO window, QEH tab, and from the Statistic overview window. This is my reason for asking my question in the first place. Double clicking in the Sub Reg (RDA) field gives the error message shown in the last screenshot.

Apparently something is missing in my installation of Swisslog.
