[Dx4win] Importing FT4 QSO confirmations from the LoTW

[Georg (DL5NO)]

Hi,

after importing the file of confirmed QSOs from the LoTW, I noticed that 
no confirmations of FT4-QSOs are shown in DX4WIN. Instead, all these 
FT4-QSOs are marked with the identifier "X" in the NOTFOUND file, 
despite the identical date, time and callsign in DX4WIN and LoTW.

When I looked through the export and import files, I noticed the 
following: In DX4WIN as well as in the export to the LoTW the FT4-QSOs 
are marked as mode "MFSK" and submode "FT4". However, the ARRL web 
service for querying LoTW confirmations only returns the mode (MFSK), 
but not the submode. This is also specified in 
https://lotw.arrl.org/lotw-help/developer-query-qsos-qsls/. It looks 
like the missing submode field leads to a negative QSOs match when 
importing the confirmed QSOs in DX4WIN.

DX4WIN Version is 9.0.9.1259. Can other DX4WIN users confirm this behavior?

I know that it is possible to set all FT4 QSOs manually to "LoTW 
confirmed" using the function "Check log against imported log", however 
with many FT4-QSOs this is time consuming, so any fix to the problem is 
appreciated. Possibly this behavior may also occur with other 
MFSK-submodes, which I have not yet checked.
