Hi
I import the LOTW download (with all details checked) into my 8.05 log and I
have just checked my log by searching using F8 with
the State/Oblast abbreviation in the box.
I do not get one single non-USA call-sign appearing!
I checked against.....
AL GA IN KS MA MD MO NV OR and TN.
I wonder why ?
