[SADXA] LOTW and date time correlation

[Ron Jones]

I had a similar question some time ago and from my memory, the software
converts time to an almost Julian time, where the date and time of day are
encoded into one big number that is so many hours from some reference date a
few decades ago. Therefore, the roll over date problem takes care of itself.
I am recalling this from a discussion long ago when I was setting up LOTW,
but I'm pretty sure I'm right.

Does anyone know how LOTW handles QSOs around the time of a day change?

For example if I upload a QSO that I logged at 00:02z April 17 
but because my battery clock is fast and the actual UTC is 23:58 April 16,
will LOTW compensate for this?

I have 6-8 QSOs from NPOTA PV13 that were made around 2359/0000z April
17/18.

Thanks for any feedback,
Tom NQ7R
