[Dx4win] LOTW confirms a NIL

[Paul van der Eijk]

Juha,

For the next version I create a report for the QSOs that were not found
but confirmed in the ADIF file. Up to now it looks like that one file contains
the QSO time including seconds, the other file does not include the seconds.
This difference makes the lookup fail.

I still do not understand where the difference comes from. When DX4WIN 
writes an ADIF file, the seconds are included. When the file comes back 
from LOTW, the seconds are still there. But it seems that there is a way to
drop the seconds, but I fail to understand how this happens.

Any insight is appreciated!

Then I made a comma deliminated file from the LogBook window in Dx4win with the Write to file -function. Then I opened my normal log file and made an F8 search for Upl Cnf Y QSOs. I exported that the same way to text file. After that I imported both of the files to Excel and compared the QSO data by setting the both files side by side. It was quite easy to find which 5 QSOs had not been confirmed in Dx4win eventhough the QSOs were in the downloaded file.
