QRZ Now Accepts LoTW Confirmations in QRZ Logbook

Announcing QRZ Logbook Reciprocal Confirmation Credit & LoTW Download

It is our absolute pleasure to announce that QRZ now recognizes 
confirmations from Logbook of the World in QRZ Logbook!

ALL users now have the ability to download their QSOs from LoTW directly 
into their QRZ Logbook.
The following apply:

    QSO Insertion: QSOs that exist in LoTW, but not in QRZ Logbook, will 
be added to your QRZ Logbook.
    Smart QSO-Logbook Sorting: LoTW supports previous callsign's QSOs in 
the same account. QRZ will automatically put QSOs into the associated 
logbook for the QSO callsign.
    QSO Updating: All QSOs that exist in LoTW, whether new to QRZ or 
not, will have their LoTW QSL Received Date, as well as the LoTW Sent 
(Y/N) flag set in the QRZ Logbook
    Confirmation credit: QSOs that are confirmed in LoTW, whether new to 
QRZ or not, will automatically be confirmed in your QRZ Logbook.
    Duplicate Checking: Because some HAMs log multiple QSOs with the 
same person in a short period of time, QRZ defines a duplicate as a QSO 
with matching dates, bands, modes, callsigns, and time (to the minute) 
-- If those criteria match an existing record in your QRZ Logbook, the 
matching record will be updated instead of a new record being created.

     NOTE: LoTW supports the "PHONE" mode, despite it being 
non-compliant with the ADIF specification. While processing your QSOs, 
those that have the PHONE mode will be automatically changed to an 
ADIF-compliant mode based on the band and frequency in question. When 
the process completes, any affected incoming QSOs will be listed in the 
report.

     Not only will this improve your confirmation rates because you are 
receiving credit for your confirmations on LoTW, but it will also import 
records that exist on LoTW and not QRZ Logbook. Those QSOs may match 
another record on QRZ resulting in even more confirmations.

To begin downloading from LoTW, follow the simple instructions located:

     73 from all of the QRZ Staff!
