[Dx4win] DXCC QSL Download - New?

[Larry Gauthier (K8UT)]

My apologies for not having responded to this thread, or to Jim's mention of 
my LoTW-to-DX4Win Awards utility. Somehow I missed reading this entire 
thread, but Bill W8NN asked me this morning if I would post a comment.

While true, the utility was written long before LoTW released the QSL 
Download Report. The utility is difficult to use; requires installing DXLabs 
software; and takes forever to run. BUT - it does contain all of the 
programming logic and the ADIF interface syntax to update DX4Win's Award 
charts.

The front-end (reading ARRL's data through DXLabs) needs to change. The 
back-end (making decisions and updating DX4Win, which was the hardest part 
to code) is still valid.

If there is strong interest in the DX4Win community I can rewrite the app as 
a single-step process based on the new ARRL report. Or, if someone out there 
wants to work forward from my project source code (Visual Studio VB2010), I 
would be happy to share it with them.

This is a new file.  I don't know when the ARRL first made it
available.  My intention is to use this file as input to this program:

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

(when I get some time)

It would be fantastic if DX4WIN could import this file to use it to
set DXCC status flags, or at least tell you which flags don't match,
like my program does.
