[Dx4win] Re: LOTW Import

[AC0W]

I had this problem and discovered the problem was with my file that I sent in and not LOTW.

I used a cabrillo file from a contest to generate the file to upload. Well the cabrillo file had as mode PHONE. So this followed all the way through and was accepted by LOTW. When I did the report of course it came back as PHONE versus in DX4WIN I had those QSO properly identified as SSB.

I had to export that group of Q's from DX4WIN, do the TQSL thing and then upload to LOTW server.

Now maybe LOTW should not accept contacts sent in that list the mode as PHONE. For now LOTW considers PHONE any of the possible PHONE modes and it will match to contacts from other people listing SSB, FM, AM, etc at the mode.

Hi Marcelo,

You are not the first to have this problem.  Something is wrong on the ARRL
server.

Maybe Paul can put in a work-around in the next version.
