[Dxbase] DXBase and LoTW QSL at Odds

[Joseph Glockner]

Eric,

If you can find out the URL that you can go to, to download
(adi file) your complete logbook as it is on LOTW - I do
not know it myself - but I know that here is one out there,
you can download the adi file containing ALL of your
QSOs as they exist on LOTW server, and then
Non-DXB Import that Standard ADI file into a VIRGIN
database and then ZIP up your ve3gsi.mdb file (your
current DXbase logbook mdb file) and email that
zip file to me...

Then ZIP up your new mdb file (the one you created
from the Non-DXB Import) and email that one to me
also ...

I will make a report that will check the 2 mdb files
and will tell us which QSOs are in your current ve3gsi mdb
file - that are not on LoTW..

This would be the easiest/best way to doublecheck the
contents of the 2 databases..

The critical thing here is to obtain the URL
where you can download your COMPLETE logbook that
exists on LoTW..
