Hi Folks --
Purchased Version 7.01 a week or so ago, and have been importing my old
electronic logs etc. Finally finished that, and now want to import my
confirmations from LOTW. No problem downloading the ADIF file from
ARRL. I've got a question on importing though
There are 508 entries in the ADIF file. From reading the manual, I
know I want to use the "duplicate QSOs set upload confirm flag" for
duplicate QSOs. However, there are 47 additional entries in the LOTW
ADIF file than in my DX4WIN log. I assumed the 47 additional QSOs
would just be added to the DX4WIN log, but they are ignored.
I then tried to import the ADIF file with the "duplicate QSO's are
ignored" option and indeed the 47 additional QSOs were imported. I then
(again) imported the entire ADIF file with the "duplicate QSO's set
upload confirm flag", and all 508 QSOs are now showing electronic
confirmation.
So, my observation is that when using the "duplicate QSO's set upload
confirm flag", and the imported ADIF file has QSOs not in the DX4WIN
log, those QSOs not in the DX4WIN log will NOT be imported. Is this
correct?
Thanks & 73
