Tom, simple answer is that LoTW cfm is at present un usable for WPX, WAZ, counties awards etc so DX4WIN is correct for those awards you need a paper QSL LoTW does not count. :(

For example: I have VP6DX confirmed via LOTW on all bands, 80-10, SSB and CW, but those confirmations only show up in the Main Window, Same Call and Country windows. In the WAZ and WPX windows these QSO's are only shown as worked. Going through my log I see this same situation with other LOTW-confirmed calls: ZL1BYZ, VK4MA, ZK3OU, 5W0OU, DR1A, S79GM, TX4T, and KL7J, to name a few. Confirmed LOTW QSO's with HH4/K4QD and TG9IRP show "L" in the WPX window but confirmed in the Main,Same Call, and Country windows. This situation also exists with stateside contacts in the County window. As an example, I recently worked N4RJ in McIntosh county during the 2010 GA QSO Party. I received an LOTW confirmation but there was not a corresponding change in the county window as it still shows Worked vice Confirmed. N4RJ is one of several contacts that have this same problem. Also, as the QSO's mentioned above were all confirmed via LOTW, that seems to be the common thread in this situation. When I import a LOTW file from the LOTW website I use the option "Imported QSO sets LOTW Confirmed flag". In the Main window, if I also check the Confirm box (as if I received a paper QSL) then the WPX and WAZ windows do show a confirmed vice worked status. Under Preferences|Station I have checked all bands 160-10 (except 60); SSB/CW/PSK31 under "Modes"; and "Phone/CW/Digital" in the Mode group. Under Preferences|Import I have "Accept DX4WIN values" displayed and under Error Reporting I have "Prefix differences" checked, which I believe is the default value. I have received occasional "lotwreport.notfound" reports after doing an LOTW download. Admittedly, I did not pay much attention to them as I saw that the QSO's listed on these reports did show up as confirmed in the Main, Same Call, and Country windows. However, looking more closely at an old report I see that the calls on one of these reports don't show up as confirmed in one or more of the windows mentioned above (WPX, WAZ, County) but do show up as confirmed in the Main, Same Call, and Country windows. I downloaded "update.bat" when Jim, AD1C, made it available and I run that on a fairly regular basis. I am using v 8.03 and Win XP, SP3. Any ideas as to what I have missed or have not checked? Do I need to import from LOTW twice, once using the "Imported QSO sets the confirmed flag" and then import the same file again using the "Imported QSO sets the LOTW confirmed flag"? Thanks in advance. 73, Tom, W4NBS ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
