For those of us who upload to LoTW, however, you're going to have to
edit the ADI file for these and any other incomplete entries (> 12
chars) in order to have a QSO match, otherwise there will likely be no
QSL (I am assuming the logs will not match unless there is a full
callsign match - correct me if I'm wrong, please).
This is what it should look like:
Any line that contains <CALL:9>VE100VIMY has to be edited to
<CALL:13>VE100VIMY/XXX where XXX has to obviously be the suffix of the
worked station, i.e. VE1, VY0, etc.
Once there's a match in the LoTW, you'll then have to check the LoTW
Cnfm box for the relevant QSO in the log manually. All this goes for any
other callsign longer than 12 characters.
Convoluted, but the only workaround for LoTW and any other electronic
file upload/download, until Paul expands the Callsign entry field beyond
12 characters. With the proliferation of such calls in recent years,
this seems a must.
