See all the posts on LOTW I decided to get on board with the upload flags
and upload confirm, etc. I have run into two problems, both puzzlers.
 
First Problem
 
So I downloaded the report and uploaded it into DX4WIN and I discovered a
group of QSO's that DX4WIN did not match. After first I thought it was a
contest log I forgot to load in but upon research the QSO's are in the log
and the downloaded file has the QSO's.
 
The group of QSO's are from Aug NAQP SSB. Both my log and the download
report has them as SSB or Phone QSO's. The interesting part is the NOT FOUND
Report that was produced has each of these QSO's as a RTTY QSO.
 
I think I found the source of the problem. All of these QSO's in the LOTW
file have the MODE as PHONE. All my other phone Q's in the file as SSB. SO
DX4WIN is interpreting PHONE as RTTY it appears.
 
I'll also have to contact LOTW to see one that one group of contacts is
marked PHONE instead of SSB like all the others of the Mode type.
 
Now that I've figure it out I can get things to work, just reporting this in
case there is something to fix in DX4WIN.
 
 
Second Problem
 
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, the QSO defaults are not being
set for new QSO's other than Group on imports.
 
Under Defaults for new QSO I have QSL Method set to DIRECT and Lable set to
Upl. When I upload a file those items are not set per the default, yet the
Group number is set.
 
So what am I doing wrong?
 
BTW, when I add QSO real-time or off-line those default items to get set
properly.
 
 
Thanks for any help.
