[Dxbase] LoTW DXCC Awards recording procedure.

[George Harlem W1EBI]

Checking with W1ZT and others seems to confirm that this is the only way
to do it at the present time, Ron.  It's a pain for now.  I sent a note
to N7NG this week suggesting that the "Award Credit Matrix" (that's NOT
the DXCC Award Matrix, which just shows an "X" for each band-mode) in
LoTW be sortable by prefix and not just display alphabetically by
Entity.  For now, that is a major PITA, at least for us DXbasers.

Subject: [Dxbase] LoTW DXCC Awards recording procedure.

Before I go ahead with an awards submission via LoTW I want to be sure 
of how I will record it in DXB2005 when completed .

It looks to me like I will have to manually set the DXCC flag in the 
Awards column in my log to indicate that the associated LoTW 'QSL' as 
been used toward DXCC.  I cannot let DXB2005 do this automatically 
because experimentally I find that DXB2005 will select a different card 
(same country/band/mode but a different Q) from time to time than LoTW 
would do, although most of the selections will be the same.

The LoTW award application procedure does produce all the information 
needed to identify the exact Q's it has selected, but this information 
must be manually delt with at this point.

Anyone have another take on this?

Ron, N5IN
