Bug Description
eQSL ADIF exports do not include MY_GRIDSQUARE or GRIDSQUARE fields, making them unusable for IONIS validation.
Steps to Reproduce
- Export ADIF from eQSL inbox
- Run
ionis-validate adif validate ki7mt-eqsl-inbox.adi
- Observe: 0 valid HF QSOs found despite 23,877 records
Expected Behavior
ADIF export should include grid locator fields for both stations.
Actual Behavior
| Records | 23,877 |
| Valid HF | **0** |
| Issue | No GRIDSQUARE field in export |
System Info

|
| ionis-validate |
v0.2.3 |
| Device |
mps |
| OS |
Darwin 25.2.0 |
Suggested Resolution
- Document eQSL limitation in README
- Add clear error message when ADIF lacks grid fields
- Consider callsign→grid lookup as fallback (using Rosetta Stone)
Workaround
Use LoTW or QRZ exports instead — both include grid fields.
Note: This is an upstream data source limitation, not an ionis-validate bug.
