[Dx4win] Rocovering logs

[Mike Cizek W0VTT]

The ADIF from LoTW should tell your confirmations for DXCC, VUCC, WAS, WPX, and WAZ.  You can then run Rick's LoTW utility to make sure you log and the League's records are the same.  https://ad1c.us/dx4win/lotw/  

As Rick said, it's better than nothing.   This is why we back up important data someplace other than on the computer.  I use both a USB drive and a cloud storage.  GL.

That depends.
You can import everything that Logbook has:
https://www.rickmurphy.net/lotwquery.htm
But that's going to only get QSO details - date, time, mode, callsigns.
None of the details like QSL sent/received, award status, etc.
If you're hoping to import this into DX4WIN, it's going to be missing a lot of data. But it will get the QSOs, which is slightly better than nothing.
