I did endorse only via LOTW late December, the paper application will be
sent this month, so I had this problem: how to change S to C in the
DX4WIN once all the Ss included the paper cards Ss as well? I mean: how
to change only the Ss referred to LOTW credits to C at once? I found out
a very easy and fast procedure. I did as follow:
1. In Change Award Flag I cleared all Ss selecting clear submitted
option;
2. In Award Setup for DXCC I cleared the QSL Card box;
3. In Award Generator I selected Submission option.
At this point the DX4WIN generated an application form for LOTW credits
only, accordingly to the #2 above.
4. In Change Award Flag I changed all the Ss to Cs selecting
Submitted - Checked option;
5. In Award Setup for DXCC I checked the QSL Card box;
6. In Award Generator I selected Submission option to restore the Ss
related to paper cards application.

DX4Win can automatically create a list of DXCC QSOs for awards
submissions to the ARRL. However, changing those Submitted entries to
Checked in your awards table after they are approved by the DXCC desk
is a tedious manual process. When purchasing hundreds of LoTW credits
recently I vowed that I would write a utility program to enter the
credited data back into DX4Win... which is what
LoTWCreditToDX4WinAward.exe does.
This utility program is difficult to setup and run. It relies upon a
feature of the DXLabs DXKeeper program to: reach out to the LoTW
website, extract all of your CREDIT history (for both QSL cards and
LoTW transactions), compare all of your credit history with your log,
and make adjustments where appropriate. It also requires that you export
your DX4Win v8 log to a DXQ file, massage it with the utility program,
and import the massaged file back into a fresh log in DX4Win.
Complicated? Yes. Was there any other way to accomplish the task? ? Not
that I could see.
Please don't confuse a QSO CONFIRMATION from LoTW (which is what happens
when you download an LoTW report and import it into DX4Win) with LoTW
CREDIT (which is what happens when you pay money to the ARRL for award
credit). The first is easy; the second requires some heavy lifting.
If you are feeling adventurous and don't mind installing the DXLabs
DXKeeper application suite as part of the process, you will find
instructions and the utility program on my website at:
http://www.k8ut.com/tiki-index.php?page=LoTW+Credits+-to-+DX4Win+Awards+Utility
As I said - this is not easy and I would not encourage computer novices
to attempt it. BUT - if you want to compare and update your DX4Win Award
Credit records with those from the ARRL, I think this is the only
automated game in town.
