Hi Bob There are 2 ways information could get into the log: 1. doing a Non-DXB import of ADIF information, either adif import from another program or the adif confirmations you download from the LOTW site, or 2. from Joe's LOTW program which does query the LOTW service and updates the database.
DXB doesn't have a LOTW access function. Its one of the main priorities of version 10. 73 Neal Campbell Abroham Neal Software www.abrohamnealsoftware.com (540) 645 5394 NEW PHONE NUMBER Amateur Radio: K3NC Blog: http://www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/blog/ DXBase bug reports: email to [email protected] Abroham Neal forums: http:/www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/community/ On Fri, Apr 30, 2010 at 5:14 PM, BOB MUELLER <[email protected]> wrote: > Neal, > > More thoughts on the issue: > > Norm from ARRL says, ".......I suspect that the program is using a feature > that communicates with loTW to "sync" your log with LoTW" > Does DXBase 2007 have such a feature?
