Yes H.O. you are correct. I have saved several qsos by paying attention to this. The League expects both stations to use the same format for the callsign. I think what happens in lots of cases is this - let's say I'm operating in a contest & I work a station signing N4ZZZ/PJ5, but when I go to "log" him, my contest program does not like the format so, in order to satisfy the program, I change it to PJ5/N4ZZZ. When I later import the contest into DX4WIN, it goes in as PJ5/N4ZZZ & later (unless I remember to change it) it goes to LOTW in the same format. One way to check & see which format the station in question actually used when HE uploaded to LOTW, is to go to LOTW & use the "find call" option & type in the call in both formats & see which format reveals an "upload date".
