This release

- when synchronizing QSOs or QSLs with LotW, QSOs reported by LotW whose
Mode is DATA are considered to match a logged QSO whose mode counts as
RTTY for ARRL awards (tnx to Bob WU9Q)

- updates the AwardInfo.htm, index.htm, Log.htm, LogCompletedMain.htm,
LogNewCapture.htm, LogNewMain.htm, ModifyLog.htm, Progress.htm, QSL.htm,
Scripts.htm, and ViewEditLog.htm documentation files

If your are uploading digital mode QSOs to LotW where the digital mode is
not yet supported by LotW (e.g. JT65A), configure TQSL to map these
unsupported digital modes to DATA. The above enhancement allows DXKeeper to
locate these QSOs in your log when directed to synchronize with LotW;
previously, DXKeeper would report such QSOs as not matching any logged QSO
because of the change in mode introduced by TQSL.

DXKeeper 8.1.6 is available via the DXLab Launcher and via

http://www.dxlabsuite.com/download.htm

Thanks, Andy.

For those not familiar with the term synchronizing with respect to LotW
operations, it means automatically

1. updating QSOs uploaded to LotW to reflect their subsequent acceptance by
LotW (setting LotW QSL Sent to 'Y' and recording the date in LotW QSL
Sent Date)

2. updating QSOs uploaded uploaded to LotW to reflect their confirmation via
LotW (setting LotW QSL Rcvd to 'Y' and recording the date in LotW QSL
Rcvd Date)

The first operation is typically initiated a few hours after uploading to
LotW -- unless there's a contest in progress or just ending, in which case
its best to wait a full day. The second operation is initiated whenever you
want to check for new confirmations.

 Dave, AA6YQ
