Hi, Guy. This is from a recent posting on the NCDXF Chat forum:
"DXLab handles LOTW perfectly. Once I decide to update my LOTW account at the ARRL, I simply make one or two mouse clicks. DXLab handles all the ADIF conversions, logs onto my LOTW account uploads the data, and then logs off.
"Same thing happens when I want to sync up DXLab with any new QSL's I've received through LOTW. As easy as DXBase was, DXLab is much easier."
From what I have read the author of DXLab is very much aware of the strengths, limitations and current problems with the LOTW system and has no desire to increase those problems through indiscriminate uploading. I have long felt the DX4WIN-LOTW-DX4WIN process could be automated and it sounds like DXLab has been able to do that.
While this is not the proper forum to discuss the pros and cons of another logging program, I think my question regarding the future of DX4WIN is a valid one. I have been loyal to DX4WIN for a very very long time and I want to stay with it, but technology has always been a moving target and we all must move with it or be left behind.

Hi Dick, What do you mean with ¨seamless integration with LOTW¨ ? If you mean auto uploading after each qso then I hope you are aware of the problems they had and still have at LoTW, Auto-uploading means operator skills and how to setup everything correct not like many do and upload their entire log again and again. I like the way it is now and certainly when you manage more then one call THIS IS MY OPINION Guy ON4AOI-OT7K -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Namens Dick Flanagan Verzonden: maandag 7 januari 2013 7:07 Aan: DX4WIN Reflector Onderwerp: [Dx4win] LOTW Support As a long-time user of DX4WIN (since V2.0) it pains me to say I am considering changing to DXLab because of its apparently seamless integration with LOTW. DX4WIN V8 was released over three years ago, with the V8.05 being released two years ago. Does anyone know if DX4WIN V9 will be adding more LOTW support? Has anyone heard if there will even be a V9?
