The certificate range ends on 29Sept.

OK, that's the problem - mine has a end date of 2004-09-21, which is 
probably one year after I requested it. I think you can fix that, 
however, by renewing your certificate. Use the TQSL program, 
Certificate/Renew Certificate menu. Leave the QSO End Date blank 
(or make it blank by selecting the first entries in the pull-down 
menu.) Setting the end date to blank allows the certificate to work 
until it expires.

Sign the renewal request with your current certificate, then upload it. 
When you get the new certificate, load that and use it to sign your QSOs.

All the certificates are set to expire after a year - we all must renew 
at least once a year. You're just doing it a bit earlier than most. :-)

[Dx4win] LOTW tq8 file

2003-10-14 Thread Garry Shapiro
I have just been through two cycles of trying to create a complete.tq8 file
from my DX4WIN log to upload to LOTW. There is a small problem.

In the first attempt, I specified a start date but not a stop date, having
read that the default is the current date. All QSO's were included--up until
29Sept2003. Today is 14Oct2003.

So I did it again, with a specified stop date of today--14Oct. Again, all
QSO's were included--up until 29Sept2003.

Can anyone edify me as to what is going on here? Did I reach some internal
QSO limit (26000 QSO's here)? Do I just give up and make another submission
later?

First, does the export from DX4WIN have all your QSOs, or does it end 
on Sept. 29?

Second, what is the valid date range of your certificate? Use the TQSL 
program, Certificate/Properties menu.

If your ADIF export is complete - contains QSOs past 29 Sept - it's not 
a DX4WIN problem. If the export ends there, make sure there's no filter 
in effect.

If all the QSOs are in the ADIF export, it's either a certificate 
validity range problem or a bug in TQSL.
