[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03

[Lou]

Jim,

Thanks..then I am not alone...and thanks for the info.

Without any concise information as to what/ what not to do...I'll do
nothing!

Quite honestly, I'm a bit concerned about having to dummy up my files (by
setting Upload dates to phoney numbers)  to offset a DX4WIN problem....

There should be an easy way to mark QSOs already uploaded...either pre 6.03
or after.....and an easy way to merge LOTW confirms with your current log.
For future uploads, again there should be an easy way to upload those QSO's
not already uploaded.

Sounds easy....but as of right now, I don't have any solutions...other than
"work arounds"...rather than screwing up my logs with lousy informaton, I'll
wait until I get something firm.

Paul...anything?
