[Dx4win] LOTW confirmations

[Kostas SV1DPI]

In order to be able to use QSOs and confirmations in several awards, 
someone needs to enable 2 fields. The first one is

File>preferences>Station

and the 2nd one File>Awards and the award you want

I believe you have unchecked something somewhere of these two. For 
example you need to check LotW under dxcc in order lotw confirmations 
work for your dxcc


from the help file for station

"Specify the bands and modes of interest.

Disabled bands and modes will not be shown in the various summaries and 
reports, and will not be considered when making submissions for awards 
or flagging QSOs for which a label should be printed. The DX spotting 
colors and audio alerts also make use of these settings.

When a band or a mode is disabled they can still be entered in a QSO.

*Bands *Select the bands of interest.

*Modes *Select the modes of interest.

*VUCC *bands The bands shown in a Grid listing or the Grid summary window

        Mode groupSelect the award groups of interest"



and also from help file for awards


"The awards window defines the parameters for an award, like bands, 
modes and starting dates that can be used for an award. The form is 
organized using a tab for each award. The contents for each tab is 
identical. This implies that some band / mode combinations are allowed 
for which there is no 'certificate' available

The fields are as follows:

Confirmation Indicates which QSO confirmation(s) can be used for the award

Mode group Indicates which mode group(s) can be used for the award

Awards Indicates which awards can be applied for

Valid modes Indicates which QSO modes are allowed for the award

Valid bands Indicates which bands are allowed for the award

Award bands Indicates which bands can be used for a separate band award

Start dates A number of awards accept only QSOs made after a certain 
date. An empty date indicates that there is no starting date.

Confirmation Starting date for the type of confirmation

Mode group Starting date for the mode group

Awards Starting date for the specified award type

Modes Starting date for the specified award mode

Bands Starting date for the specified award band"
