[Dxbase] LOTW - DXB difference

[Joe WA6AXE]

Gary,

A long time ago, I made the EXE program "LoTW Checker".
But, removed it from my website - since there was too
much of a chance for the user to inadvertently USE the
"Complete download from LoTW - all of your QSOs" adi file
in the normal IMPORT program ... 

But, if you want, you can COMPACT your current logbook
mdb file and ZIP that compacted file up and email it to me ..

Then, if you will use the following URL - download ALL of YOUR
QSOs from LoTW -- and ZIP up that adi file and email it to me.

Then I can tell you where the differences are.

The URL to use (which has to be modified WITH YOUR INFO) is:


https://p1k.arrl.org/lotwuser/lotwreport.adi?qso_query=1&login=CALLSIGN&password=PASSWORD&qso_qsl=no&qso_qsldetail=yes&qso_withown=yes


In the above URL - just change the word CALLSIGN to your call and 
change the word PASSWORD to your LoTW logon password.

If you have more than ONE callsign on LOTW and they are merged for
DXCC, etc -- be sure and download all of the qsos for that/those calls
also..
