Maybe everyone had found this out already but thought I would mention it as I had not seen it. I had been wanting to load my FT8 QSOs into LOTW with FT8 actually showing up in LOTW somehow but with no FT8 selection in DX4win it did not seem possible. But I found a work around. By picking a mode that is in DX4win and not in the TQSL ADIF mode mappings list I was able to load QSOs into LOTW with FT8 assigned as the mode. In DX4 I log the QSO as TOR and just for my info put into the Notes For This QSO, the signal report, ie –18. The RST box need an update to allow ie –06 etc also.
In the TQSL mode mapping I made TOR->FT8. I did get an error I recall the first time I uploaded to LOTW saying something about the mode, but everything went in okay as FT8. Subsequent loads I have not seen any errors and I now have FT8 QSOs in LOTW. Not that it is a big deal as you could load them as RTTY and they will still work fine as it will be counted as Digital for DXCC in the end just like FT8. I had been using RTTY prior to this to log FT8 but it seems more elegant to have FT8 in there.
