QSO Auto upload from HRD logbook worked fine for the last year or so, but recently the auto uploads stopped and I now must do the uploads manually.
In HRD's logbook configuration for eQSL, I DO have the box ticked for auto upload every time a new QSO is added to HRD's logbook. The eQSL user name and password are accepted by eQSL for manual uploads, but auto uploads stopped working. There are no error messages. Any ideas? KG6Q Dennis Edinger |

What version of HRD are you using? I'm running an older version here, V5, and auto-uploads work fine.

I'm using HRD logbook v5.24.0.36.
All was well for many months until a few weeks ago, then auto OSQ uploads from HRD logbook to eQSL stopped working! Manual uploads work OK so I know my eQSL name and password setup in HRD logbook's config for eQDL are correct and -as mentioned - I have the box checked for eQSL Upload every time an entry is added to the logbook The auto-upload has been a great feature so I'd like to get it back, but I'm at a loss about how to do that.

Ok, that is the exact version number I'm using here.
I just did a quick test here, and auto-upload worked fine for me. When you have that auto-upload turned on, when you check your logbook does it show that an eQSL was sent? Also, to that logbook display you can add the field "eQSL status", you do that via the "layout" button. When you do that it shows you the diagnostic information from the eQSL upload attempt. Maybe try and add that field and that might help narrow down where the problem is. 73, Dave - VA3KAB |

In HRD's logbook - under eQSL sent - is says requested. Then if I select the OSQ, right click on it, choose eQSL.cc and choose upload, the 'requested' changes to 'Yes' and I can see the QSL sent in my eQSL outbox.
I don't see diagnostic info, only eQSL sent status and sent date together with eQSL received status and date. BTW, my QSO's use WSJT-X JT65 mode. These QSO's automatically successfully populate my HRD logbook, but they stop there and don't auto upload to eQSL. Very perplexing. KG6Q Dennis Edinger |

What happens if you make a QSO using a different mode, psk31 for example, does auto-upload work then?
I'm guessing the auto-upload works when a QSO is transferred to the logbook via the ALE pane in DM780 and doesn't work when a QSO is added to the logbook via JT-Alert, but I don't run JT65 here so can't test that theory. 73, Dave - VA3KAB Edited by VA3KAB David Bell on Nov 8, 2014 at 02:36 PM |

David,
That is a good suggestion, and could be the answer. However, I use WJST-X together with JT-Alert for WSJT, and these link to my Yaesu 897d radio via HRD. It's easy enough to test though, and I'll do just that (i.e. a PSK31 QSO) soon and report back. KG6Q Dennis Edinger |

David,
You are on to something! I made a 10m PSK31 QSO a while ago (using HRD/DM780) and whala .... the QSO automatically uploaded to eQSL! So my trouble has something to do with WSJT's JT-Alert link to eQSL via HRD. I investigated both JT-Alert --> HRD logbook, and HRD logbook --> eQSL links but I don't see anything amiss. Having little experience with such links, protocols and formats, I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Maybe I'll just have to live with manual uploads for JT9/JT65 contacts. Any ideas?

My guess is that the code in HRD that does the auto-upload is in the ALE pane; when you add a QSO to the logbook via the ALE pane the code looks to see if you have auto-upload enabled, and if so it does the upload to eQSL.
Adding QSOs to the logbook via JT-Alert bypasses the ALE screen so the auto-upload doesn't happen. But, that is just a guess based on what you are seeing, I have no experience myself with JT-Alert. 73, Dave - VA3KAB |

David,
I just learned from Lauri, VK3AMA that currently JTAlert writes directly to the HRD Log file, it doesn't used the unpublished Logging interface of HRD, so having eQSL auto-upload from HRD doesn't get actioned. So, for this JTAlert version (2.4.20), I'll have to live with manual JT-65 eQSL uploads from HRD's logbook. A new JTAlert version (2.4.29) is expected to have auto eQSL upload functionality. Thanks so much for your replies and interest! Dennis - KG6Q KG6Q Dennis Edinger |
