[Dx4win] LoTW "notfound"

[Arunas LY2IJ]

Thanks - looks like not DX4WIN problem.

I used to uploaded QSOs right from Writelog in 2003-2005 (cabrilio most
probably - don't remember). There was "phone" (not "SSB") and I always had
to replace all <MODE:5>PHONE  occurences to <MODE:3>SSB in ADIF QSL report
from LoTW.
But this line <MODE:5>PHONE is not in ADIF output any more in latest LoTW
report. Most probably I need to reload all these files,
just no idea how to get rid of these "phone" contacts.
