[Dx4win] LOADING FT8 QSO

[John Warburton G4IRN]

It's even easier to upload to LOTW if you open WSJT-X's own ADIF log in 
TQSL and then process for upload. Don't need to touch DX4WIN or mess 
with anything elsewhere.

Separately you can import WSJT's ADIF file into DX4WIN, call it whatever 
mode you like and then change the mode field for those QSO's when the 
new DX4WIN appears. Or do what I'm doing - not import them to DX4WIN at 
all and do a bulk upload when v9 appears.

I had been wanting to load my FT8 QSOs into LOTW with FT8 actually showing up in LOTW somehow but with no FT8 selection in DX4win it did not seem possible.  But I found a work around.  By picking a mode that is in DX4win and not in the TQSL ADIF mode mappings list I was able to load QSOs into LOTW with FT8 assigned as the mode.  In DX4 I log the QSO as TOR and just for my info put into the Notes For This QSO, the signal report, ie –18.

Subsequent loads I have not seen any errors and I now have FT8 QSOs in LOTW.  Not that it is a big deal as you could load them as RTTY and they will still work fine as it will be counted as Digital for DXCC in the end just like FT8. I had been using RTTY prior to this to log FT8 but it seems more elegant to have FT8 in there. HI.  73 Mike K4PI
