[Dx4win] LOTW

[David Kozinn, K2DBK]

The easiest way is just to use the LoTW->Export to LoTW each time, then 
allow it to turn off flag indicating that it needs to be uploaded. That 
way each time you upload it will automatically only upload those which 
are flagged for uploading. This does mean that you need to have your 
Preferences set so that any QSOs either entered directly or imported are 
flagged to be uploaded to LoTW. It also means that what you'd want to do 
is to generate the ADIFs only from DX4Win, and not use the export from 
Writelog. I used to do it that way (export from N1MM logger, send that 
up to LoTW, then import but don't set the flags), and it got complicated.

So in other words, the flow is: Generate the ADIF file from Writelog, 
import to DX4W (making sure that the LoTW flag defaults to Y on new & 
imported QSOs), then export from DX4W. Yes, you do need to export twice, 
but I've found that it only takes a few seconds and it keeps things all 
managed (for LoTW purposes) aligned in DX4W.

As an alternative, if you set a filter (for instance, filter for K1N), 
when you start the export, DX4Win will ask if you want to use the filter 
that's in effect.

I hope this helps.
