ALL:

I learned something new today!!  Anyone who is uploading their logbook QSOs to
the LOTW website .. PSE go to the LOTW website and be sure and (if you haven't
done so recently) download the NEWEST config.tq6 file from the LOTW website.

Background:  I was working with Ian (G4GIR) on a SAT issue - when I discovered
something I had NOT KNOWN before!!   The config.tq6 file that you download from
the LOTW website contains ALL of the LOTW acceptable variables -- and, as such,
you MUST be working from the most recent one - or, you MIGHT have an error
when you make your TQ8 file ...  I was looking thru the config.xml  file -- which for me
(XP MACHINE) is located in:

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\TrustedQSL

directory -- and I noticed that the info in my current one I had was NOT 
uptodate ... so, I went to the LOTW website and downloaded the newest config.tq6 file
and OPENED that config.tq6 file with the TQSL program and it write my NEW config.xml
file all OK -- and VOILA -- the newest info was there now --- 

You can get to your config.tq6 file by going to LOTW website -- LOG IN to your 
account -- then go to "Your Account" -- then go to "Your Certificates" -- 

now -- look for the LINK that says:

Download current TQSL Configuration file (Last updated 2011-10-07 17:02Z)


THIS is the most current version of the config file ...

I will be ALSO posting (later on tonight hopefully) -- an UPDATE to my AutoLOTW program
-- so that the SAT QSOs will have the  SAT_NAME and PROP_MODE  fields as part of the
adi file that my program makes ...  More later on abt this update ....
