[Dx4win] LOTW questions

[Dave Sharred]

I too am confused about the notfound file. 

I have just done a test; if you import an ADIF twice (in mycase, I did just
that; in practice, if someone uploads a QSO with me twice in LOTW) the 2nd
QSO  then is summarised in the dialogue box as "x" duplicates, and is
included in the notfound file 

I think that this is confusing; notfound should be just that; or the record
has a duplicate marked against it.

The other category in the notfound report is where the QSO details have been
changed by an LOTW user - typical example is the US State is different on
the QSL card to that on the US operators upload file. Again, I can have no
influence on this !

Bob,

In the QSO Window: LoTW |  Review QSOs not found

Pressing F1 with that menu selected will show you the help or look for
notfound in the help index.
