[Ham-Mac] LoTW Users Update for the New Year

[Dick Kriss]

I just happened to check the HB0BZA LoTW users list at <http://www.hb9bza.net/lotw-users-list> and noticed the list was updated on 01-Jan-2012.  

If you want to update your fldigi setup, click on the Full List Text (1 call/line, no rem's) and your browser will display the full list. Right click on the full display and it will give you a Save As option where you can save the lotw1.txt file to your .fldigi folder.

Having an up-to-date lotw1.txt file in your .fldigi folder is needed to support one of the cool fldigi operating aids. If you mouse hover over a call sign, fldigi pops up a tooltip with all kinds of good information based on your log, the QTH from the current city.dat file and at the end it will tell you if the call is a LoTW user based on the lotw1.txt file.  The hover tooltip is just one of many cool operating aids W1HKJ has provided for us to use.

See <http://www.w1hkj.com/FldigiHelp-3.20/DXCC_list.html> for more information.

Happy New Year
