[Dx4win] LoTW problems

[Ted Sarah - W8TTS]

Hi Rick,

There was a thread going about this.  And, a number of us were having a 
problem doing it.  We weren't getting the same results Paul was getting. 
  And, with Paul and Steve at Dayton, the thread has kind of stopped 
until he returns.  But here is what he said to do...

Now, when a couple of us did this with the sample log, we got the same 
results he did.  But, when we did it against our own logs we didn't get 
what we expected.  For example, I have 12,000+ QSOs in my log, and only 
got 3,280 QSOs changed, not the 12,213 that I expected.  I even tried 
doing a filter before hand, and got the same results.

Guess we have to wait for Paul and Steve to come back from Dayton.
