Naturally things were going too well.  The conversion to 6.03 was  flawless 
until I got to the LoTW step.
I select "Export to LoTW" in the Labels menu.  Is this not correct?  (seemed 
like a weird place to put it)  It finishes in about 10  milliseconds.  So I 
looked at the output file, and all it contains is the  one line file header 
with 
<eoh>.  Nothing else.
OK, so I try an import of my LoTW file from the ARRL page.  Finding  nothing 
in a menu, I chose the straight Import --> ADIF.  From a sample  block of 50 
Qs, it imported with 16 dupes.  Frankly, all 50 should have  been dupes.  But 
checking a sample of 10 of them, none has been changed to  Confirmed - and I 
did select "Card or upload" in the QSO preference tab.
So, how is this supposed to work?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Hello all,

I'm just trying to understand the new features from the 6.03. So I
downloaded a file from the LOTW and imported it using the ADIF import tool.

Before that I did set PREFERENCES | QSO | CONFIRMED QSOS to "Card ou
Upload", then I did the importation selecting IMPORTED QSO SETS UPLOAD
CONFIRMED FLAG when asked.

Everything got fine and all statistics did match. Well done.

Next step was the application to the DXCC using the submission tool at
REPORTS | DXCC | SUBMISSION.

Here is the problem: In my humble opinion the submission tool is only used
to prepare the report for applying the paper QSLs, since the LOTW
confirmations are applied directly from the LOTW web site. In this case the
UPL CNF field, which is correctly used into the DX4WIN statistics since the
QSOs are really confirmed, should not be considered during the submission
report generation.

Am I mis-understanding the process? Am I doing something wrong?

Any help will be very much appreciated.
