Paul (and all), When downloading FROM the LoTW and including QSO details, the resulting ADIF file contains <state:2>xx for the Canadian province (MB, PQ, etc). This obviously is generating an error message in the Notes field when imported into DX4Win. One other thing I saw was that DX4Win has "Miami Dade" as a Florida county, and LoTW sends "Miami-Dade" (with a hyphen). Don't know if that's a LoTW generated thing, or the ham just happened to type it that way. (Also noticed a number of hams don't know what zone they're in...or at least their zone and QTH don't match.)] 73, Steve -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Yes, Ted, the steps outlined by Paul worked here for the Samplelog. This brings up a question I have: Do you folks that have done this to their log set up a special log just for LoTW downloads? I'm real nervous about downloading into my present "clean" log. Of course we all know it's foolproof and it won't foul up right? Oh yeah. Sure sounds to me, after reading all these threads, that we need to wait till after Dayton and maybe get some real instructions in the User's Guide and Help file. Meanwhile, I may experiment, but not on my original log!!
