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.
