No George LoTW did not differentiate between USB and LSB. In the signing process, you have to set 'preferences' so that LoTW understands that if I submitted a LSB as a qso/mode, it automatically corrects it to the LoTW acceptable form of SSB. This was the only qso that had this problem, maybe the other fellow submitted it PRIOR to the software change to allow us to set these Preferences. The same thing happened to the PSK modes. The early versions didn't accept BPSK. You had to set the Preferences to BPSK=PSK31 for that qso to be acceptable I had to also set: LSB=SSB USB=SSB I remember reading they increased the types of modes in a later version of the software. So like I said, I'm guessing that this qso was entered PRIOR to that software upgrade.
