[Dxbase] Duplicate QSOs after LOTW download

[Joe WA6AXE]

Pat,

Yes - it has happened before. But, not very often.  The problem 
comes in when the user submits their logs in Cabrillo format 
(for a PHONE contest) -- and the PHONE mode stays with 
LOTW -- that is a real bummer!!!!  ---  but, what you did is the
best that can be done until the next release of DXbase ..  The
Non-DXB Import utility should be updated by that time to 
include the PHONE mode as an incoming info for the Import
utility to define as USB/LSB ..

You did perfectly Pat!!

> Tonight I downloaded a new batch of QSLs from LOTW and found duplicate QSOs in my log after importing. I tracked this down to entries in the LOTW adi file that had PHONE as the mode. Those that had SSB as the mode worked correctly and marked my existing QSO as confirmed in LOTW. I don't know why LOTW lists some QSOs as PHONE and others as SSB but DXBase doesn't like it.
