[Dxbase] LOTW upload question

[Gary AL9A]

Guess I pulled the trigger too quick!  The LOTW upload page has now updated 
and shows 24,479 records uploaded so that's only 11 records off from my DXB 
count.  Not too bad.  Some have already written suggesting some may be dupes 
or deleted countries (I don't think so) or have some other glitch in my 
records.  Is there any way to id the missing few to see if a correction 
would make a difference?

Now back to the 7,169 incoming QSL records!

73,
Gary AL9A
