[Dx4win] LoTW Import Problem

[Bruce McCain]

I am using DX4WIN v. 7.01 and recently downloaded and imported my complete ADIF file from LoTW. However, during the import, I received a pop-up telling me that 1,087 confirmed records were not imported. Doing some math, and basic troubleshooting, I discovered the issue and problem.

The only LoTW/ADIF records that set the Upl_Cnf field to Y also had Y in the basic Cnfm field. If the Cnfm field was "N" then the ADIF import would not set the Upload Confirmed Flag to Y.

BTW: Under Preferences/QSO, I have confirmed QSO's set to Card or Upload  Also, I exported my entire DX4WIN file as outlined elsewhere here, so every QSO has a Y in the upload field and an upload date. DUring the import I also used the "Imported QSO sets Upload Confirmed Flag" option.

The only issue is that the import will not set the Upload Confirmed Flag to Y unless the Cnfm filed is also Y. But that sort of defeats the purpose of tracking cards and LoTW separately, so what's the point with the "feature" in DX4WIN?
