[Dx4win] Question

[Rick Murphy]

And if you're sending ALL of your log, note that if many of those QSOs are
already uploaded to LoTW, then processing your log will be aborted once the
number of previously uploaded QSOs gets to be too large.

Only upload new QSOs.
In addition, be careful about the Station Location you use. Unless you made
all of those QSOs from one location, then you need to separate those QSOs
into different log files, each of which would be associated with a Station
Location that defines that QTH.  Don't be that person that re-uploads all
of your QSOs with the wrong QTH, causing people to lose confirmations they
need.
(What that means is that if you lived in one state for several years then
moved to a new one, signing your whole log will cause the QSOs from the
first state to be recorded as the new state. Same with zones, gridsquares,
etc. Each operating location needs a Station Location. Each QSO has to be
associated with the right Station Location.)
