I have just downloaded "my QSL's" and imported them into a "New Log" in
DX4-win 6.02. All USA stations with County information have errors on the
import.

I have examined the ADIF File as received from LOTW and the County Data is
all correct. In 6.02 error message you appear to receive only the last
4-or-5 letters of the county name.

If I request G3LZQ QSL' I receive my other registered call QSL's as well all
as G3LZQ NOT the correct QSl's by call.

Anyone else got same problems?
John,

For whatever reason (and I do not know which is "correct") LoTW and DX4Win 
have different specs for the County info.  LoTW is simply sending the county 
name.  If you take a look at a DX4Win ADIF export, you'll see it prepends the 
State abbreviation to the county name, for example:

LoTW  <cnty:9>San Diego
DX4Win <cnty:12>CA,San Diego

I took a 5 QSO segment of my file received from LoTW and edited the county 
info to match the DX4Win spec above.  It then imported without error.

Obviously, somebody has to change something....

73,
Steve
