[Dx4win] LoTW procedure

[George]

 Hi Jim,
Strangely enough I did look on your web page this morning to see if you had
details.
The help file on all this is very sketchy indeed...
OK well I am half way there as I did the first part right, so I'll continue
as suggested. Yes I did back everything up too!
If it all works ok then I'll do all my other calls, I will let you know how
I get on with it.
BTW I have just found that I am missing some 9S4 (Saar) calls in my "Deleted
 DXCC list I will check on this and report back to you.

George, you should use the Labels -> Export for LoTW function to do
this. This will set the Upload and Upload Date flags in the logbook for
these QSOs.

Again, this is not the correct way. Download the lotwreport.adi file from
ARRL. Import it into your DX4WIN log as an ADIF file. Before starting the
import, there is a dialogue box "Options for Duplicate QSOs". Choose
"Imported QSO sets Upload Confirmed Flag". This will set the LoTW
Confirmed flags in your logbook only, without changing any other data.
