Teijo,

I used the "Imported QSO sets Upload Confirmed flag". I didn't replace 
the existing data. But I did some testing and noticed that if you 
already have Upl Cnf = Y the extra data isn't imported. I just imported 
all the data since the beginning of LOTW and only 8 QSO's got the extra 
data imported. Those 8 QSO's weren't confirmed by LOTW before this 
latest import. So if one wants to import all the data with the "Imported 
QSO sets Upload Confirmed flag" -option the log must have all the Upl 
Cnf as N. But there is no way to change all the Upl Cnf from Y to N 
automatically. Or if someone knows a way please inform us.

73,
