[Elecraft] [HAM] Windows 7 and LoTW

[Roger Marrotte]

Dan,

I have Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit.  It is an upgraded system from Vista.
I just uploaded my latest contacts to LOTW without any problem.  This is the
first time I've tried it with Windows 7.  I use DX4WIN for my log.  I used a
filter in DX4WIN to select only the latest entries.  I then created an ADIF
file and was then able to create a tq8 file without any problem.  LOTW
accepted it.  I haven't touched any LOTW stuff on my computer since the
upgrade to Windows 7.

About a year ago I had trouble creating a tq8 file.  Come to find out my
certificate had expired.  The error messages I was seeing didn't give any
indication that the problem was with an expired certificate.  It's been long
enough that I forget just what the messages said.

I'm not sure what is wrong for you, but I can say that LOTW seems to work
fine on my Windows 7 computer.

Roger, W1EM

The error appears to be related to the way tQSL writes to its own data
files.
I have checked all the permission issues and tried running it as the Admin
and even as an XP SP3 program. No luck. 

I hope to find someone who has found the secret formula. This is in Win 7
Professional. The tQSL program and the LoTW setup has never been my
favorite.
