Re: [Dx4win] LoTW submission with DX4WIN
Hi Loren, The main DX4WIN screen has a window LOTW Upload Date. This is automatically updated (if you say yes) after creating the DX4WIN LOTW file...You can also show this field in the logbook window of DX4WIN. This updates every QSO. 3 windows. QSL card, LOTW and eQSL can be updated. 73, Art W6KY From: Loren Hunt ad...@sbcglobal.net To: DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net Sent: Mon, April 2, 2012 6:08:41 PM Subject: [Dx4win] LoTW submission with DX4WIN So now that the ARRL has separated out LoTW and Paper DXCC applications I need to know the best way to proceed.

No good automatic way. Make the QSO window as big as you can using F5. You'll see the award flags at the bottom. Manually set the DXCC mixed and/or band and/or mode flags to 'S' for any DXCC credit that you submitted via LoTW. This may or may not help: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/dxcc.html There is just no good way to track LoTW submissions if done entirely from the LoTW web site (i.e. outside of DX4WIN). There is no way to download the submission status into DX4WIN. I still haven't changed my 2010 submissions to Checked, nor have I submitted my 2011 credits, which were done entirely through LoTW (about 50 credits). I do need to do this, and I have detailed notes that I took *during* the LoTW submission process as to exactly which QSOs were submitted for which credits. It's just a matter of setting the correct DXCC award flags. Get used to it, because CQ will start accepting LoTW confirmations for credit for their awards programs, like WAZ and WPX. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] LoTW submission with DX4WIN
Jim, I was afraid of this... Since I have a pile (about 210 QSLs) I just submitted the manual process seems painful. I was thinking of using your LoTW Compare tool and set the boxes so LoTW QSLs are set to confirmed. Would that do it?

Please re-read the DXCC application note. In DX4WIN 8.0x, there are three confirmed boxes: one for paper QSLs, one for LoTW and one for eQSL. The Award Manager (File | Awards) is configured by default to accept either QSL or LoTW confirmations for DXCC. Do not mix them up, i.e.. don't use the QSL Cnfm field to confirm LoTW contacts, etc. You'll never be able to straighten this out.

Re: [Dx4win] LoTW submission with DX4WIN
Jim, Yes, I have used that program a few times and am aware of how to use it. Just wishing for some secret extra use... OK then. I will manually set the fields. 73 Loren From: Jim Reisert AD1C jjreis...@alum.mit.edu To: Loren Hunt ad...@sbcglobal.net Cc: DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net Sent: Tuesday, April 3, 2012 8:16 AM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] LoTW submission with DX4WIN On Tue, Apr 3, 2012 at 8:55 AM, Loren Hunt ad...@sbcglobal.net wrote: I was thinking of using your LoTW Compare tool and set the boxes so LoTW QSLs are set to confirmed.
