[Dx4win] DX4WIN not setting LOTW upload flag

[Jay Hainline]

Diving a little deeper, I think I see where the problem lies. Mode in
question is JT6M. Looking at the LOTW web site FAQ, there is a listing of
modes supported by LOTW. Modes are grouped into CW, PHONE, IMAGE and DATA.
JT6M is not listed as one of the currently allowed modes by LOTW and I had
to create a mapping JT6M->DATA in TQSL so I could upload my contact. I also
had created a JT44->DATA mapping in TQSL as that mode was not listed either.
So...I guess LOTW needs to update their accepted modes? I will try and
delete my mappings and try uploading those JT44 and JT6M QSO's. Maybe LOTW
has changed the accepted modes without updating their FAQ.

Thanks Mel

Check you don't have a spurious mapping set up in TQSL Jay.
