Hi Tony,

There is where both DX4WIN and LoTW fall short - there is no path to get LoTW
submissions marked as "submitted" or "checked" in DX4WIN.

You will have to manually mark the 96 LoTW entities as Submitted in DX4WIN (you
can see the award flags after hitting F5 in the QSO window enough times). 
After these are checked by ARRL, then you can use the Change Award Flags menu
to set them to Checked.

Then to make sure everything matches, download my program to compare your
DX4WIN records to LoTW:

If there are any mistakes, correct them (you can correct DX4WIN but not LoTW).

The next time you have to submit, you will have to go through this process
again, but there should be fewer entities to worry about.
