[Dx4win] Measuring the LoTW import process

[Larry Gauthier (K8UT)]

Today I downloaded an LoTW report from the ARRL web site and imported the 
files into my DX4Win log. When the process was completed, I somehow had 20 
unaccounted for LoTW QSOs. Here's the details:

Before the download and import, I set a filter to get a count of the 
existing LoTW confirmed QSOs. I had 8105 confirmed LoTW QSLs. I downloaded 
an LoTW file from the ARRL with 294 QSOs in it. The DX4Win import program 
reported that it had confirmed 264 uploaded QSOs. After importing, another 
filter count reported that I now had 8369 confirmed LoTW QSLs. That makes 
sense: 8105 existing confirms, plus 264 new confirms, equals a new total of 
8369 LoTW confirms. No problem.

BUT... the downloaded LoTW file had 294 QSL records. DX4Win only accepted 
confirmations for 264 of the 294. What was wrong with the other 20 records 
in the LoTW file? Because LoTW's server ONLY matches on QSOs that I have 
already uploaded, it would be impossible to receive back from LoTW any 
records that are not already in my logbook. Right? How do I identify the 20 
"unaccepted" records out of the 294?

Has anybody else noticed this problem?
