First, *where* you're uploading makes a difference. ClubLog, eQSL, LoTW,
some other logging program, etc.

I'll confine my comments to Logbook of the World.

When you upload a QSO to LoTW, the only thing that's uploaded is *your*
entity's ADIF code. There isn't anything that tells LoTW what entity you
think the station is in.

When that station uploads their log, the ADIF entity code that their
certificate specifies is applied to a QSO match; the QSL is awarded to you
for a QSO with their entity.

So, if you've uploaded a PJ QSO, you're done. Once ARRL begins issuing
certificates for PJ stations using the new entity codes, they'll be able to
upload their logs, you'll get a match and the proper credit.

You don't need to have a current DX4WIN country file for this to work, by
the way - at least not until you download the confirmations from LoTW.

Re-uploading QSOs will cause them to be rejected (ignored) as everything in
the QSO will be identical to the QSO you've already uploaded.
