Jim,

      You can download the basic QSO data you uploaded to LoTW but 
information as to whether or not you sent or received a conventional QSL 
from a particular station can not be recovered from LoTW.  You can, of 
course, recover those QSO's which have been confirmed on LoTW.

      Here is a resource you can use to do the LoTW recovery:

      Good luck.


Clark, W8TN
