[LOGic] LoTW QSL credit for grid boundary matches

[Bill VanAlstyne W5WVO]

This is basically to Dennis, as it is likely part of a feature that hasn’t been implemented yet, or not implemented correctly:

The new LoTW implementation of VUCC provides for the upload of QSOs made from the boundary between two grids or the confluence of four grids. I have made QSOs with several stations operating from grid boundaries who have subsequently uploaded their logs to LoTW, showing both grids in the manner prescribed by ARRL (i.e., entering both 6-character grid squares separated by a comma and using the LATEST version of tQSL). Going into LoTW manually, I can see QSL entries for all these QSOs, giving me VUCC/FFMA credit for both grids in each case. 

When I logged these QSOs, I created (in order to capture both grids) a separate QSO entry line for each grid square I worked with the other station on the boundary line. In other words, there are two QSOs shown with the exact same date/time stamp and different grid squares. These QSOs were uploaded to LoTW and produced matches (QSLs) for each of the two grids. 

However, when these QSLs are downloaded by LOGic 8 and processed, I only get a confirmation indication for ONE of the two boundary QSOs in my log (the first one entered chronologically, though both have the same date/time stamp). The second entry for that grid boundary QSO does not get an ‘F’ in the “LoTW R’ column, while the first one does.

If anybody else has run into this SPECIFIC problem with LOGic and LoTW and has information, please let me know. Otherwise, Dennis, we will need to have a fix for this. Contact me to discuss in more detail if need be.

Thanks and 73,
