Dale and Jack,

Thanks for your replies. I'm using the 9-pin serial port on my laptop, which is 
setup for COM1 and I followed the instructions in the WinKey manual which calls 
for 1200 baud, no parity and "1.5 to 2 stop bits."  I also tried 1 stop bit as 
suggested by Dale.  This serial port worked fine on COM1 for rig control with 
DXBASE. 

I did a continuity check on my serial cable and checked the 5 volt regulator 
(U1 on the WinKey).  It measures 5.03 volts when plugged into the computer.  I 
followed the directions in DXBASE 2005 for setting up the WinKey on COM1.  I 
just keep getting the message:  "Unable to open <K1EL CW> ComPort"  

I sent an e-mail to Steve, K1EL, as I really don't know what else to try.

73,
Chuck  NI0C

What are the accepted modes?  I just uploaded one and I had two BPSK QSOs that 
I got errors on.  Just wondering.

I know this has been asked before, just don't remember the answer.  When you 
create an ADIF file it asks if you want to mark the QSLs column as LoTW and you 
select "Yes".  Why doesn't it also put that day's date in the "Sent" column?  
Of course if you send a card it will put that date in the Sent column.

What emission modes are supported by LoTW? 
LoTW supports the emission modes allowed by the ADIF specification with the 
exception of "ASCI" (ASCII is a character set, not an emission mode). Each mode 
is mapped into a MODE GROUP for purposes of matching QSOs. The modes 
currently allowed by LoTW are: 
ModeMode Group
CWCW
PHONEPHONE
IMAGEIMAGE
DATADATA
AMPHONE
FMPHONE
SSBPHONE
ATVIMAGE
FAXIMAGE
SSTVIMAGE
AMTORDATA
CLOVERDATA
FSK31DATA
GTORDATA
HELLDATA
HFSKDATA
MFSK16DATA
MFSK8DATA
MINIRTTYDATA
MT63DATA
PACKETDATA
PACTORDATA
PSK125DATA
PSK31DATA
PSK63DATA
Q15DATA
RTTYDATA
THROBDATA

Note that the TQSL program can map the modes in an ADIF log file that aren't 
valid to modes that are valid via the File menu Preferences command (use the 
ADIF Modes tab).

Bob,

Yes - you asked that question on May 16th and here are the words
we exchanged:

Bob,

The thinking here is that the SENT Date "only" is to relate to
a true QSL Card -- there is the LoTW rcvd Date (filled-in while
you are doing the ARRL LoTW adi import file) -- BUT, Jack wants to
leave the SENT Date as the TRUE QSL Card sent date..

Is there a "switch" where you can tell DXB to put the date that you 
create the ADIF file for LoTW in the "Sent" column?  Seems, to me, that 
since it does ask if you want to mark the QSLS column as LoTW that it 
would automatically put the date in for you too.  It will when you 
create cards.

Thanks,
Bob
