[Dx4win] LoTW submission with DX4WIN

[Loren Hunt]

Jim,
I was afraid of this...
Since I have a pile (about 210 QSLs) I just submitted the manual process seems painful.

I was thinking of using your LoTW Compare tool and set the boxes so LoTW QSLs are set to confirmed. Would that do it?

Thanks,
Loren

No good automatic way.  Make the QSO window as big as you can using
F5.  You'll see the award flags at the bottom.  Manually set the DXCC
mixed and/or band and/or mode flags to 'S' for any DXCC credit that
you submitted via LoTW.

This may or may not help:

There is just no good way to track LoTW submissions if done entirely
from the LoTW web site (i.e. outside of DX4WIN). There is no way to
download the submission status into DX4WIN.

I still haven't changed my 2010 submissions to Checked, nor have I
"submitted" my 2011 credits, which were done entirely through LoTW
(about 50 credits).  I do need to do this, and I have detailed notes
that I took *during* the LoTW submission process as to exactly which
QSOs were submitted for which credits. It's just a matter of setting
the correct DXCC award flags.

Get used to it, because CQ will start accepting LoTW confirmations for
credit for their awards programs, like WAZ and WPX.
