[Dxbase] LOTW - DXB difference

[n8dc-8 at comcast.net]

My totals as far as LoTW are all a miss also? But It knows im on the honor roll and im actually 1 up with the tx3a operation so I dont really care as that Jives with the DxBase totals as far as awards also . I did find some bad logging on my part and changed the contacts the re uploaded and that will change the total count on LoTW also.. I really like LoTW but I also think we should be able to look at our logs there and make any changes that need to be made .. I see the need for security so there arent any bogus awards sent out but geeze its kind of over kill to me.. Any time you add contacts to a database from a stack of 20 year old cards your bount to make a mistake and ive found a few or maybe more than a few and when you re submit it doubles the contacts that were fixed .. So the total will be off.

I've never really paid any attention to the confirmed count totals between 
LOTW and DXB until today. After uploading the 160M CW contacts from this 
weekend LOTW says I have 12,101 QSL records. I downloaded the latest LOTW 
report file and imported it into DXB. The I went to the Wizard in DXB and 
in the QSO Filters area checked Confirm = LOTW and nothing else. I did a 
test run and the Wizard says I have 11,068 confirms from LOTW. That's a 
difference of 1,033 records between the two! Any ideas as to the size of 
the discrepancy and where I should start in identifying and correcting the 
errors?
