it wont work until you find/fix whatever is causing the software you use to break the record to read as
"" "v=spf1" "a" "mx" "~all" ""
my i suggest leaving out the " quotes at the start and end of the record so the software can add them itself {as i'm guessing it is trying to do BADLY}
and just type v=spf1 ip:174.37.103.245 ~all
incidentally the breakdown of the errors received are

test of your spf leartclub.com
result=none {result none should not cause a bounce though as none just means no SPF record found and they are optional}
>HELO
>name="cpanel.channelof.com" HELO Result="none"
test of your providers mail servers spf record cpanel.channelof.com
result=none {result none should not cause a bounce though as none just means no SPF record found and they are optional}
{though having a mailserver and no SPF is slightly worse as domains are often owned by non-techies and we expect some domains to be SPF non-believers,
but few people want to receive mail from a server operated by someone unaware of simple methods {like SPF} to make their server look like it might not be just another infected PC, and having an SPF for a HELO/EHLO is a zero false positive and cannot break forwarding/mailinglists/or any other SPF-unfriendly practice}
so fix your spf as above but also strongly encourage your provider to add one also for cpanel.channelof.com if you want receivers to perceive the server as well-run
