[Dx4win] LoTW submission with DX4WIN

[Loren Hunt]

Jim,
Yes, I have used that program a few times and am aware of how to use it. Just wishing for some secret extra use...

OK then. I will manually set the fields.

Please re-read the DXCC application note.

In DX4WIN 8.0x, there are three confirmed boxes: one for paper QSLs,
one for LoTW and one for eQSL. The Award Manager (File | Awards) is
configured by default to accept either QSL or LoTW confirmations for
DXCC.  Do not mix them up, i.e.. don't use the QSL "Cnfm" field to
confirm LoTW contacts, etc. You'll never be able to straighten this
out.  You may want to read this app. note as well:

    http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/lotw.html

The comparison program only works if the DXCC award flags in your
DX4WIN log are set to Checked (or Submitted).  The instructions for
the program say this right up front.  So setting anything to simply
"Confirmed" won't do it.

Please re-read the DXCC Application Note.  It explains a lot.
