[Dx4win] LOTW problem

I was in the RTTY RU contest this last weekend and made about 890 QSOs.  I uploaded the contest to LOTW last night and this morning saw the results.  About 40% of the contacts matched in LOTW.  My matches went from 5458 to 5819.

 Since I am using the latest DX4WIN, I went to LOTWs "Your QSOs" page and selected "Download Report."  I agreed with the date, checked "Include QSL detail" and selected my call sign.  I then clicked on "Download report."  I put the adif file in my Save directory.  Inspecting the adif file through DX4WIN, it shows the many RTTY QSOs and has "Data" marked for the modes.  Incidentally, in the DX4WIN Logbook, the contacts are marked as "RTTY".

In the exception file, it shows most of my RTTY contacts, all listed with an X on in the left column and the mode as SSB.  This was a RTTY contest!

I went back to a November exception report and also the RTTY contacts there showed in the exception report as SSB also.


What is going on here?
