Hi 

Noticed the same difference ...

Nothing wrong with DX4Win... theres an overlap in the QSL report downloaded from LOTW. Apprently the "QSL'ed since" date is rounded off to midnight. The overlap QSO's is then reported in DX4WIN as "not found" / "Dublicates"...

Example 

File 2) is downloaded 6 days after 1) :


1) FILE:Downloaded: 2010-05-10 08:55:12
ARRL Logbook of the World Status Report
Generated at 2010-05-10 08:56:21
for oz1axg
Query:
   QSL ONLY: YES
  QSL SINCE: 2010-05-05 00:00:00
<PROGRAMID:4>LoTW
<APP_LoTW_LASTQSL:19>2010-05-10 08:55:12

2) FILE:Downloaded: 2010-05-16 21:01:11
ARRL Logbook of the World Status Report
Generated at 2010-05-16 21:02:56
for oz1axg
Query:
   QSL ONLY: YES
  QSL SINCE: 2010-05-10 00:00:00

<PROGRAMID:4>LoTW
<APP_LoTW_LASTQSL:19>2010-05-16 21:01:11

The "QSL SINCE" date is rounded off to midnight in file two making all QSL Received between 2010-05-10 00:00:00 and 2010-05-10 08:56:21 present in both files thus causing a "warning" in Dx4Win ...

Hi Andy,

What version are you running?  If version 8, then ONLY the LoTW Cnfm
box should be set to "Y".  QSL card Cnfm box is just for that only -
QSL cards.  There is NO overlap between the Cnfm boxes for eQSL, LoTW
and paper QSL.  If you use the right function to import the log
(import for LoTW or import for eQSL), then the right thing should
happen.

Can you send me your .DXL file (before the LoTW import) and the LoTW
file you are trying to import?  I can try the same import here.  Also
tell me what version you're running.

- Jim
