I uploaded my log to the database and had to realize that there is one QSO missing.
Of course, I checked my original logfile but found no obvious mistake:
The missing QSO is highlighted.
The strange thing is that the import of the identical ADIF into the GMA database shows all 10 QSOs:
Can anyone spot the mistake I was not able to identify? Thank you.

Will do, THANKS!
This was caused by one of the QSO records having a malformed field.
I debugged this by first looking but nothing was obvious. Then I edit the ADIF to remove the QSO in question. The file parsed the same as before. Then I replaced this QSO and removed the others. This time when uploading I was told there were no QSOs in the file. So there is definitely something wrong with this line.
I looked carefully at each field. ADIF entries look like this " <MODE:3>SSB " and that says there are 3 chars following the >. Checking each field I found there was one where the length given did not match the number of chars. Changing the length and the QSO record was correct and the file would upload OK.
I’ve done this many times so it’s easy but if you logically edit the ADIF file you can zoom in on the line then record in error quite quickly.
This was one of less obvious errors.
