[Dx4win] Confirm LoTW using ADIF file

[Luciano de la Rosa]

Hello everyone.

I'm writing again about a topic I mentioned some time ago, and despite
advice from some colleagues, it didn't work, and I couldn't find a solution.

I'm referring to QSL confirmation through LoTW.

When checking the LoTW Look app for Android, I see that some new entities
have been confirmed on bands or modes that weren't previously available,
for example, VJ2L, TZ4AM, VU22DX, etc.

I go to the LoTW website, to "Your QSOs/Download Report," and by default,
it shows the current date, which is today, June 26, 2026. I check the boxes
"Include QSL details:" and "(May significantly increase the size of the
downloaded file)" and then "Download Report." I save it to my hard drive,
and then, using DX4WIN, I go to the LoTW tab and select "Confirm LoTW using
ADIF file."

I checked my DX4WIN after that operation, and those callsigns are still
unconfirmed.

I repeated the same operation, but when generating the report in LoTW, I
configured "Show QSLs received from: 01/01/2026" and generated the report
again. I uploaded it to DX4WIN, and this time those QSOs appeared as
confirmed. Is this normal? Should I always generate a report for at least a
year?

Greetings to all.
