[Logic] LOTW Issue

[R Johnson]

Hi Bill:
It's not common sense that you lack, It's POOR directions from the League on LoTW !!!

Hang in there, you are just about a week behind me.
I'm sure that you will be squared away by Tuesday with a NEW set of questions Hi !!!

In the mean time get your logs ready.  Export them into an ADIF file. Then when you
get your .TQ6 file then you can convert the  ADIF's to .TQ8's and upload them to LoTW !!!

I've got 3,805 Q's uploaded and have 48 matches so far.

I'm working on an other 2000 Q's for my VHF/UHF contacts that I hope to upload tomorrow.

Only 1 foreign Q (from Belgium) confirmed so far, rest are USA Q's !!!
