I'm not sure how you would get the info from LOTW and import to DXbase, but
there is a "Special 1" and "Special 2" field in the Awards drop down list.
It would still require manual entry for each record, but you could just
check off the Special 2 box for each record that LOTW lists.
I don't worry about the records matching up with what LOTW shows, since the
DXCC Challenge numbers are still right on the DXCC Statistics window that
comes up when you go to "Output/HF Numeric Statistics/Countries".

Subject: [Dxbase] Getting correct Challenge credit into DXB
On the LoTW site, if you go to Awards>Challenge as the Award to view, you
get a great matrix of entities, band, and Challenge confirmed qsos.
(unfortunately there are errors)
Unfortuantely I find no way to download this data so that I can enter it
into DXB.
I'd like to edit my DXB to reflect all these correct/recorded Challenge
credits.
I'm well over 2300 so doing this manually could be an exercize in making
mistakes.
Plus at my age...not sure I have enough time left. lol
As DXB doesn't have a 'Challenge' field, I've been entering "Challenge"
into the Special2 field but all the qso/qsls prior to my starting are
empty.
And also, they may not match with DXB as....where as ARRL might have
entered a SSB for a band/mode challenge entry, maybe I actually had a CW
for the first band/mode, but it was the SSB qsl via LoTW that was
recorded.
I found lots of errors/differences between my entry and ARRLs.
