They should never be set automatically unless you perform a Submit from the Reports Menu. Go to your preferences, and click on the F2 tab. My guess is that the last box is checked (alert if new for award, or something like that). That may be setting the awards flag(s). I never use that feature. Please read this application note. It applies to all awards. Some of the pictures may not reflect the current version of DX4WIN. https://ad1c.us/dx4win/appnotes/dxcc.html Once a QSO is confirmed, then it's confirmed. You don't have to work it on that band/mode again. You should never have to think about award flags until it's time to do a DXCC submission.l > > IF I do an F2 as if a paper qsl was received, the awards box shows DXCC > band and mode WPX band & mode IOTA band & mode > > If I bring up the logbook, with just LOTW, DXCCbnd and DXCCmod show nothing > > What am I doing wrong Since starting to do FT, I am working a lot of new > band modes and it seems that DX4WIN is not keeping track when confirming > with LOTW > > Thanks for any suggestions > > Steve KF2TI > > > > -- Original Message -- > From: jjreis...@alum.mit.edu > To: kf...@optonline.net > Cc: DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net > Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2022 8:49 AM > Subject: Re: [Dx4win] LOTW confirmations > > Check the following settings in preferences. > > On the STATION tab, make sure those bands and modes are Checked. > > On File | Awards, click the DXCC tab.

Re: [Dx4win] LOTW confirmations
In order to be able to use QSOs and confirmations in several awards, someone needs to enable 2 fields. The first one is File>preferences>Station and the 2nd one File>Awards and the award you want I believe you have unchecked something somewhere of these two. For example you need to check LotW under dxcc in order lotw confirmations work for your dxcc from the help file for station "Specify the bands and modes of interest. Disabled bands and modes will not be shown in the various summaries and reports, and will not be considered when making submissions for awards or flagging QSOs for which a label should be printed. The DX spotting colors and audio alerts also make use of these settings. When a band or a mode is disabled they can still be entered in a QSO. *Bands *Select the bands of interest. *Modes *Select the modes of interest. *VUCC *bands The bands shown in a Grid listing or the Grid summary window Mode groupSelect the award groups of interest" and also from help file for awards "The awards window defines the parameters for an award, like bands, modes and starting dates that can be used for an award. The form is organized using a tab for each award. The contents for each tab is identical. This implies that some band / mode combinations are allowed for which there is no 'certificate' available The fields are as follows: Confirmation Indicates which QSO confirmation(s) can be used for the award Mode group Indicates which mode group(s) can be used for the award Awards Indicates which awards can be applied for Valid modes Indicates which QSO modes are allowed for the award Valid bands Indicates which bands are allowed for the award Award bands Indicates which bands can be used for a separate band award Start dates A number of awards accept only QSOs made after a certain date. An empty date indicates that there is no starting date. Confirmation Starting date for the type of confirmation Mode group Starting date for the mode group Awards Starting date for the specified award type Modes Starting date for the specified award mode Bands Starting date for the specified award band" 73 Kostas SV1DPI Στις 18/2/2022 22:39, ο/η kf...@optonline.net έγραψε: Good afternoon Mike.

Re: [Dx4win] LoTW CONFIRMATIONS
Hi Andy I use DX4WIN 8.05 When I receive new confirmations in LOTW, a) I import the LOTW downloaded ADIF file into DX4WIN b) I upload the same LOTW ADIF file to Clublog, as a merged file c) about every 3 months I do a full upload from DX4WIN to Clublog just to make sure, using the delete existing log option. Not sure if this helps but maybe you are missing step b) Good luck 73 John 5B4AHK. P3M. G3SZG. On 23 Sep 2014, at 18:50, andyphewitt andyphew...@btopenworld.com wrote: I am using version 8.05. Just now I was checking something on ClubLog and noticed that some QSOs were just showing as worked (W) and not confirmed (C) as I knew them to be. Once a week or so I produce an ADIF file and do an upload to LoTW using the functionality of DX4W and TQSL. I wait a while then download from LoTW the report which I import into DX4W. All the confirmed QSOs then appear as such in the log. I have always used the same ADIF file to upload to ClubLog and it had appeared to be functioning well. Any QSOs confirmed by card since the last import show on the upload but now it seems that LoTW confirmations are not managed the same way. How can I get my LoTW confirmations to be exported to Club Log? I think I will have to delete my log from ClubLog and do an export/import of the entire log afresh.

I think I will have to delete my log from ClubLog and do an export/import of the entire log afresh. But then what for future confirmations? Andy, I think I know what's happening. I assume when you upload to LoTW, you are only uploading the most recently worked QSOs (those you have not uploaded before). And you are uploading this same ADIF file to both LoTW and Club Log. This file will only contain a small portion of your log. By definition, because you are uploading these QSOs to LoTW for the first time, they will all be unconfirmed. When you later import the LoTW report file into DX4WIN to confirm your QSOs, DX4WIN will mark those imported QSOs as confirmed by LoTW. But the incremental LoTW export flow will never export these QSOs again, after they have been confirmed, because they had already been exported to LoTW. Club Log has two upload options: 1. Upload new QSOs, but don't delete existing QSOs in Club Log 2. Delete all QSOs in Club Log, then upload the QSOs The second option will allow you to upload your confirmed QSOs. However, because it will remove all your existing QSOs in Club Log, you will need to export your ENTIRE DX4WIN log to ADIF format, then upload that large ADIF file to Club Log. You can do this via the File | Import/Export menu item. This should solve your problem. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
