[Dx4win] Importing FT4 QSO confirmations from the LoTW

[Keith Beebe W3KB]

All of my imported FT4 QSO's from LOTW are confirmed.  I use DX4WIN 9.09.1259 also.

When importing the lotwreport.adi file into DX4WIN make sure the Options for duplicate QSOs window says:  "imported QSO sets Lotw Confirmed flag"

For example: I just imported a lotwreport.adi report today into DX4WIN and it set all recent FT4 QSOs to LOTW confirmed.

The LOTW notation for each FT4 QSO is showing a "Y" under the Cnfm window block in DX4WIN.

Subject: [Dx4win] Importing FT4 QSO confirmations from the LoTW

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.
