John, What am I missing in your question?
All LoTW QSOs are available for checking by the ARRL without physically submitting a card for that QSO. The downloaded ADIF file is imported with "Imported QSO Sets Upload Confirmed Flag" which will set the Upl Cnf to Y. For a submission, you need physically submit only those cards for QSOs not confirmed through LoTW. Let DX4WIN decide which QSOs to submit by setting up a submission. To determine which were picked, do a search on Conf=Y and Mixed=Subm, Conf=Y and Band=Subm and Conf=Y and Mode=Subm. The results are the cards you need to submit. Any QSOs confirmed through LoTW can be done electronically and you can find those marked for submission by doing the same searches except with Upl Cnf=Y. By the way, you can exclude LoTW confirmed cards by doing the searches with Conf=Y and Upl Cnf=N or substitute LoTW confirmed cards for the physical ones with Conf=Y and Upl Cnf=Y. On the other hand, if you are talking about LoTW QSOs already submitted and checked before the download, you would have to make a note of which were used in the submission, import the ADIF file and manually set the checked flag. This would be the easiest way if there are not too many. 73, Les W2LK -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of John (N1JP) Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2006 5:53 PM To: Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] LOTW ADIF thoughts?? Getting back to downloading the LOTW ADIF file into DX4WIN to set the 'submissions' flag for those Qs checked by ARRL. Comments that were received in regards to this feature indicated that it was not supported but......how about this?? 1 - Download the ADIF file into a 'New' log in DX4WIN. Check this new log for errors, etc by going into Reports|DXCC|Summary and compare it with LOTWs online matrix. 2. - If they agree, as mine does, go to Reports|DXCC|Submission, then Save under File|Save. Now check this new log for 'Submission' flags in your log window and review as many qs as you prefer in the DXCC- Mixed, Band, and/or Mode fields. In my case it looks good. 3 - Now, open your normal, everyday, log and go to File|Import/Export| which opens a new window. Select ADIF, if not already done so, then under this Windows File, select Merge DX4WIN Log.....select the new log you created and choose 'Open'. A new window will appear and from that choose "Imported QSO replaces existing QSO (SLOW)" then choose OK. A progress bar will be shown and then when completed a warning text will say No new QSOs have been added. If you check your log now you will see that the 'Submit' flags have been added in the appropriate fields. Now you will need to manually change the 'Submit' fields to 'Chkd'. Am I correct now to say that statically, your DXCC Summary Report should be accurate?? I think so unless I am missing something. Now, the next time you want to send or take new QSL cards to the ARRL, choose Reports|DXCC\Submission, you should see a listing of new Calls that indicate what QSL cards should be pulled from your stash for another visit to the ARRL. Could someone please check this to see if I'm correct in my thinking before I SAVE the results to my log. By the number of emails I received after my first query I know it is important to many folks. Thanks and 73 John (N1JP) _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
