POTA export file empty

[ik8vrq]

Hello,
my POTA export file is empty but QLOG tell me that has exported n contact. I use POTA export and columns set to POTA.
In my station info I filled POTA field correctly. I'm running last version of QLOG. The file is:

<ADIF_VER:5>3.1.6
PROGRAMID:4QLog
PROGRAMVERSION:60.48.0
<CREATED_TIMESTAMP:15>20260312 091056

and no contact at all.

Any advice? Thanks 73 IK8VRQ

Did you use a QSO filter or something to limit QSOs to a certain POTA activation? Also it may create more than one adit file so you may want to see if there are other files?

You could also try a normal adi file export first to make sure the export and filtering is working as you expect. Then run the pota export to get the files generated for uploading to the website.
There's more specific instructions in the wiki if you haven't seen it yet: https://github.com/foldynl/QLog/wiki/POTA-Activations#export-qsos-to-potaapp-compatible-adif-files

Thank you for the answers. Yes, the other export options work (although I have questions about them). I believe that the only requirement for a QSO to be POTA as activator is that in the settings/profile the POTA field is filled.
However, I also tried to insert the sig and sig_info fields in the profile with the item "POTA" and IT-0001 for example but the export does not take place even if QLOG gives me the n.ro of exported QSOs. I have only the ADIF header in the file. There are no other logs in the export folder.

I follow wiki instruction.

where am I wrong?

My settings:

Thank you.

I just did a quick test and it seemed to work.
My Station Setup:

Showing I am using that station:

Logged a test contact:

Selected today and that station profile as a filter:

and it exported that contact:

Ok, thanks Michael.
I understand that I still have to indicate a form of filter in the export dialog. Which I didn't.
Thanks very much friends. Now it works!
