[Dx4win] Confirm LoTW using ADIF file

[mgcizek at gmail.com]

NO, don’t delete it.  Just leave it there.  It has today’s date because you just downloaded a file today.  Go back again next week, and it will still have today’s date, or the date of your last download.

Thanks, Mike, for your reply.
So, I understand that I should delete the default date, which is the current date, and leave the field blank?

Regards.

Hello Luc,

 

The best way to do this is to never enter a date.  DX4WIN, LoTW, and TQSL all keep track of when and what you upload and download, and will automatically take only new QSOs or QSLs.  Let the programs do the work for you.

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.

 

EA8AM
