[Dx4win] LotW import problem

[John Shaw]

I also  import the LOTW download (with all details checked) into my 8.04
log.

I did a check and couldn't find any non K Prefix QSO's with a state
assigned.  194803 QSO's in the log.

This was my process for checking:

Do a F8 filter,  K in the Prefix box and a state in the state box, say AL.
Then do a filter count. Then new F8 filter just AL in the state box this
time no Prefix assigned and do a filter count.  If both filter counts match
then there are no QSO's with AL as a state that don't have K as a Prefix?

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 ?
