[Dx4win] LOTW and DX4WIN Mismatches

2012-03-31 Thread Dan Violette 
I finally have ran the LOTW/DX4WIN credit compare (great program, thanks
Jim).  I have nearly 200 mismatches.  Before I go through all of them, I
want to check with all of your collective wisdom.  All but 2 are band
specific errors.  Looking at the first couple, it looks like this might be
an issue of the old DXCC (paper)  conversion to new DXCC (LOTW).  On paper,
bands were not tracked, only country and mode.  Therefore I think I have
DX4WIN band credit for QSLs sent to ARRL that only had say CW credited (and
maybe mixed).  Does that sound about right?  Any way to correct without
sending all in again?  I forget everything that went on during the
conversion.  I don't think there was any easy (free) way to get credit for
cards already submitted.  I guess I will have to go through all of the list
and remove the C in DX4WIN for the band.  Does that sound about right?

 

Thanks.  Dan KI6X

That's probably correct.  The old paper records didn't record band.
Today, if you submit a card for MODE credit only, ARRL will credit you
with the band automatically (assuming you didn't have that band credit
before).  It looks like you are going have to uncheck these in
DX4WIN, and submit them again. It's going to be hard to get free
credit if they have no record of which band the QSOs were made on.
