[Dx4win] DX4Win and LOTW

2015-01-01 Thread Roger D Johnson

Has anyone successfully reconciled their DX4Win logs with LOTW? I've tried
many times using AD1Cs program and it always ends in frustration. I guess
I've killed off too many brain cells over the years to understand the process.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN to LOTW

2014-05-16 Thread ALAN ZACK
Thanks Jim, 

After doing a more detailed search I discovered about half the errors were
due to a bad frequency in the Freq (khz) box and the other half were bad
calls. The bad calls were actually years of Armed Forces Day calls such as
WAR, AIR, NNVR, NMC, NBM, etc, etc. I log them the same as regular calls but
they don't match the normal callsign format so LOTW rejects them. No problem
there as I would guess the Armed Forces Day special stations don't use LOTW
so I will just ignore those errors.

The bad frequency errors came from a 2004 IOTA contest log when I used the
free ED5DI IOTA Contest logger program. I forgot if I used the ED5DI ADIF or
Cabrillo file to upload to DX4WIN (this was before your great ADIF to DXQ
program). What it did was to cut off the actual frequency. Example, instead
of 14250.0 it downloaded the freq as 14.250 and then after the import in the
DX4WIN Freq (khz) window it became 0.01425 and so the error. Since they were
all in one group I just scanned through each QSO and wiped out the Freq
(khz) box and left it blank. I then resubmitted those corrected only QSO's
to LOTW and this time they were accepted using just the BAND info.

Every day you learn something new!

I have now submitted 26,254 LOTW QSO's for K7ACZ with 12,394 QSL matches. I
know many DX stations don't use LOTW so I won't have a match. But what if I
messed up the time or freq and that is why there is no match? Is there an
easy way to determine if the DX did use LOTW but my QSO does not match his
info? I will continue further with your Compare DX4WIN DXCC Credit Status
with LoTW program but it does not appear to be able to help me with
mis-matched contacts.

I have another 40K or so from K6ACZ in Calif before 2003 but I know I need
another certificate for a different call. I won't worry about those older
QSO's before 2003.

Thanks for all the help!

73, Alan, K7ACZ

Alan, I think that's the best you can do.  The program for signing/uploading
logs does compare the BAND against the FREQUENCY if both fields are present
in the ADIF file, and reports errors if they don't match, as you saw.  In
your case, you'll have to assume BAND field is correct.

Are these from QSOs you logged in real time, or ones you imported?  If the
QSOs were imported, and you have the original source, we can try to find out
how to fix them.

Also note that if you export your log to ADIF or DX4WIN8 format, then import
the resulting file into a new DX4WIN log, it will also help identify these
kinds of problems.

 14.19 instead of 14.190.0, etc. When the QSO record is converted to 
 the ADIF file for the LOTW TQSL conversion it is changed to the 0.01431

 I printed out the list of errors and it appears I have about 100 of

 errors as when I am in the LOTW webpage YOUR LOGBOOK QSO's and search 
 for these calls with error messages they do not show up even though on 
 the page Here you can query Logbook to find out the last time log data 
 was uploaded for a particular call sign the station in question did 
 upload his QSO's to LOTW in the timeframe to be a match for me. So it 
 appears I must go into DX4WIN, search for the calls showing this error 
 message, correct or blank out the Freq (khz) box, and resubmit a corrected
file to LOTW.

 Is this correct? If so, is there an easier way of doing this other 
 than doing 100 or so individual callsign searches for the offending
entries?

 What is interesting is that with many of my QSO entries I had left the 
 Freq
 (khz) block blank but LOTW seems to have accepted those QSO's. I am 
 guessing it just accepted the entries in the BAND box as the frequency.

No.  This protects against looking up your (busted) call in someone's
log that you never worked, and trying to get confirmation for it.

Time must be fairly close, I don't know how long the window is
(somewhere between 1-60 minutes).  Call, date, band and mode must all
match.  I believe TQSL converts FREQ (only) to FREQ + BAND.

Hi 

Noticed the same difference ...

Nothing wrong with DX4Win... theres an overlap in the QSL report downloaded 
from LOTW. Apprently the QSL'ed since date is rounded off to midnight. The 
overlap QSO's is then reported in DX4WIN as not found / Dublicates...

Example 

File 2) is downloaded 6 days after 1) :


1) FILE:Downloaded: 2010-05-10 08:55:12

Hi Andy,

What version are you running?  If version 8, then ONLY the LoTW Cnfm
box should be set to Y.  QSL card Cnfm box is just for that only -
QSL cards.  There is NO overlap between the Cnfm boxes for eQSL, LoTW

[Dx4win] DX4WIN to LoTW DXCC compare version 1.2 released

2006-12-17 Thread Jim Reisert AD1C
I have released version 1.2 of the program to compare DX4WIN DXCC 
status with LoTW.  You can find it at:

http://dx4win.ad1c.us/dxcc.htm

This version should support all DX4WIN entiity prefixes since I 
started working on them over 2 years ago.

I renamed the program from dxcc.exe to dx4wlotw.exe.  I'm sure 
everyone will love that name, but dxcc.exe is too generic. Also 
note that the name of the .ZIP file includes the release date.

When you download and run the program, make sure it reports version 1.2:

Compare DXCC LoTW credit listing to DX4WIN - Version 1.2

[Dx4win] DX4WIN and LOTW

2006-01-09 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi John
Not to my  knowledge but it is quite simple using DX4win itself, first off 
select  reports/change award flags and clear your awards flags so that you are 
starting  from scratch (this is a one time only process) now in 
File/Prefrences/Qso,  select Upload confirmed save changes and exit, now do a 
submission 
and this  will submit all your LoTW stats, now its simple from here using 
Reports/change  award flags again select submitted-checked now all your LoTW 
Q's are 
marked as  C 
Clearing all award flags at the beginning only works if you  dont already 
have qsls checked manually by the ARRL (like me) but if you have  some C's 
already in then you should be careful what you clear first off. Let  me know if 
you already have cards already marked as checked and i will try to  get round 
this (i have a couple of ideas)

Larry when you imported these to DX4WIN how did they show up as a LoTW

you make a submission to the ARRL.

Because of that I have not tried to import from LoTW yet.

 You should have a file called adif.pmp in the import directory.
 This file maps prefixes between adif and dx4win.
 Check under the entry 291; is that mapped correctly to the USA?

[Dx4win] DX4Win and LoTW results

Larry,

You should have a file called adif.pmp in the import directory.
This file maps prefixes between adif and dx4win. 
Check under the entry 291; is that mapped correctly to the USA?

Hi!

I completed my first LoTW upload on Friday - shipping about 11,500 QSOs up,
and receiving confirmation of 744 QSLs. Very cool - everything seemed to be
working fine _until_ after it was all over, and I attempted to import the
resulting LoTWdownload.ADI file into DX4WIN to analyze my results.

During import into DX4WIN, I received hundreds of error messages - but upon
inspection discovered that there were really only 4 errors:

All W/K QSOs - Error:Prefix=291 ( for hundreds of QSOs with W/K calls -
what does that mean?)
DL2FAG - Error:OtherPfx=DL/D (5 errors for 5 different QSOs with the
DL2FAG... all other DL QSOs were fine )
3B6RF - Error:Prefix=4 ( 6 errors for 6 QSOs with 3B6RF )
T88ZZ - Error:Prefix=22 ( 2 errors for 2 QSOs with T88ZZ )

So, are these DX4WIN import errors, or LoTW export errors? Has anyone else
had the same problems?

Paul,

Checking the adif.pmp file in my V6.02, I noted that all seems to map OK, 
except I did find this puzzling entry on lines 52 - 54:

8Z568
93 93
9A497

Whatever country number 93 is, is listed under 93, rather than a callsign 
prefix.  K is mapped to 291.

Once you get past the authentication (postcards, passwords, etc)
everything is pretty easy.  I was impressed with how quickly I was
about to upload 11,000 QSOs, but not impressed with the turnaround
time in the authentication process.  But that's a once-per-callsign
process, so it's more than tolerable.  And the multiple callsign support
is much better than eQSL.cc was, since they can't associate callsigns
together for awards purposes.

No problems at all, although some folks using earlier DX4WIN have had some 
problems with mode translations, I think, which were discussed earlier on 
the ARRL-LotW group at Yahoogroups.com.  I uploaded 77,000 QSOs from DX4WIN 
with minimal problems -- mostly typos on my part, like an Oh instead of a Zero.
