DX4WIN frequently gives me Zone Errors when I import confirmations from 
LOTW.  So far they have all originated in the other station's TQSL 
installation where they have specified their ITU zone instead of their 
CQ zone.  Data errors like that cannot be detected by LOTW and are not 
the fault of the logging program.  LOTW can only give you what the 
logging station gives them.
