I just jumped through a bunch of hoops to get signed up with LOTW, and
have uploaded logs from fldigi on both Windows and Linux. Now I don't
know what to do about future QSOs. Is there a way to mark the log in
Linux with what I have already sent to LOTW so I don't extract it and
send it again? Or is it OK to keep sending in cumulative logs and
they get rid of the duplicates? Or am I asking the wrong question?
There is no way that I know of to mark the logs. LoTW does not get rid
of dupes and I'm not sure there is a way a user can. You can submit
logs say on a monthly or weekly schedule. Then just rename the fldigi
log so you know where you are. You can also log onto LoTW and look at
the most recent QSO'S.
If there is an easier way I would like to know about it.

Jim,
Here is how I do it. First I go back to LOTW and press the "Most Recent
QSOs" button near the bottom, which give me a list of what they already
have, and I take the last date and call sign for my starting point for
the next upload. Now that I know where I want to start, I go over to
FLDIGI and open the Logbook-ADIF-Export and select the fields TQSL
wants to see, the most important ones being the date and time on. Then
go over to the log and click on each of the check boxes for QSO's you
want to send to LOTW. Then click OK, Name it with a unique name, (I use
sequential numbering i.e. W6HGF1234.adi), and run it through TQSL and
upload to LOTW.
For Dave, I kind of like the XLOG method of numbering the QSO's and
letting me specify the qso number range for the extraction process, it
is much, much easier than all the little check boxes after a long
contest, and I have never run across an occasion yet where I needed to
skip a qso in the middle.
Also a note, I really miss the auto fill 599 on the log, something I
got used to and now sometimes miss and have to go back and fix before
submissions.
