[Dx4win] DX4WIN to LOTW

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

Alan, I think that's the best you can do.  The program for
signing/uploading logs does compare the BAND against the FREQUENCY if
both fields are present in the ADIF file, and reports errors if they
don't match, as you saw.  In your case, you'll have to assume BAND
field is correct.

Are these from QSOs you logged in real time, or ones you imported?  If
the QSOs were imported, and you have the original source, we can try
to find out how to fix them.

Also note that if you export your log to ADIF or DX4WIN8 format, then
import the resulting file into a new DX4WIN log, it will also help
identify these kinds of problems.
