[Dx4win] LOTW Support

[Dick Flanagan]

Hi, Guy.

This is from a recent posting on the NCDXF Chat forum:

"DXLab handles LOTW perfectly. Once I decide to update my LOTW account 
at the ARRL, I simply make one or two mouse clicks. DXLab handles all 
the ADIF conversions, logs onto my LOTW account uploads the data, and 
then logs off.

"Same thing happens when I want to sync up DXLab with any new QSL's I've 
received through LOTW. As easy as DXBase was, DXLab is much easier."

 From what I have read the author of DXLab is very much aware of the 
strengths, limitations and current problems with the LOTW system and has 
no desire to increase those problems through indiscriminate uploading. 
I have long felt the DX4WIN-LOTW-DX4WIN process could be automated and 
it sounds like DXLab has been able to do that.

While this is not the proper forum to discuss the pros and cons of 
another logging program, I think my question regarding the future of 
DX4WIN is a valid one.  I have been loyal to DX4WIN for a very very long 
time and I want to stay with it, but technology has always been a moving 
target and we all must move with it or be left behind.

Dick
