[Dx4win] Question

[Dave Sharred]

Thanks Rick; Very true.

I see the method below that I described will only create files including 
QSO's where the upload flag is set to "Y".

If in any doubt,  you can filter (F8) the date range you want (then you 
can separate QTH moves, Zone changes); and then use the "File"  
Import/Export route; and manually set the upload date and clear the LOTW 
flag afterwards (actually the method I use!).  This is well covered in 
the Help files, which you can access within DX4Win
