Again, the purpose of my posting was share with the group that N9YTY's FB
software allows Mac users to participate in the ARRL LoTW project. I am not
sure if I will really use LoTW - I just wanted to see if I could upload a
QSO and check it out.

As I have said before I still use the old ARRL Spiral Log Book and do not
use logging software.  How about some reports from Mac users of logging
software? 

I used the simple ADIF file creator utility contained in the tqsl software
to manually enter a specific QSO.  As a word of caution to those who may
want to try the tqsl QSO editor, do not mess with the Probagation or
Satellite option buttons.  The Trusted QSL defaults are 'None' and if you
use the popup options you may not be able get back to none.  Being a ham I
had to check it out and found there was no Ground Wave option and I could
not get back to defalut None. If you get into this trap, just delete the QSO
and start over and don't mess with the options.  This glitch in the code has
been reported the ARRL LoTW people by N9YTY.

How about some more success stories.  Anybody managed to pick up a DXCC
credit via the ARRL LoTW program.?
