[Dx4win] Strange happenings?

[N3SL at aol.com]

Well, like most things I mess up, pure cockpit error....  The box was  not 
checked.  And, yes, I know LoTW doesn't yet work for CQ awards, but I  track 
things anyway.  Just how I choose to do it.
 
Thanks to all who replied.

In the  Award manager, LoTW should NOT be enabled as a valid confirmation 
type for  CQ awards (WAZ, WPX) since they do not accept LoTW 
confirmations.   See the Confirmation box in the Award Manager under the 
WAZ and WPX  tabs.
