[Logic] LoTW confirmations

[C.M. Christensen]

Yes, this will work, but only if the software will read that box and 
show that it is fulfilled on all of the corresponding reports that Logic 
generates.

As Art mentioned there is no real way to do it now other than by hand 
until LoTW offers some other download options.

We can now download the confirmations from LoTW, as Mel pointed out, but 
in the future it would be ideal to have a method to only download those 
confirmations that we have chosen to have credited for an award, and 
have this download imported into Logic and mark the necessary info in 
the log.

This will probably all come together in due time and my only real reason 
for mentioning it at this stage is to get some folks thinking about the 
best way to accomplish the task.

I presently have a couple of hundred confirmations in LoTW but only one 
that has not already been credited by ARRL. I do have the card for that 
contact so it shows in my log as QSLS F and QSLR F but I will not send 
it because I can get it credited electronically once LoTW is totally up 
and running. In this case all that has to be done is mark the Comment 
field with DXCCSUB: when it is officially credited. I am sure this will 
be the case for most of us for awhile and we will just have to mark all 
of these manually until new methods are provided.

What does just marking an entry with DXCCSUB: in the Comment field and 
leaving QSLS and QSLR blank do to the status of reports generated in 
Logic? I have never tried this. Has anyone? If not I will give it a try.

Lots of little things to think about.
