Pete,

 

The ADIF Committee is currently meeting to add new modes to the ADIF Specification.

 

This should take a few weeks. After they release their latest version of the ADIF Specification, we will put out a new configuration file for TQSL which will contain the FT8 mode.

  a.. your name – Pete Rimmel 
  b.. your call sign – N8PR 
  c.. the operating system version you're using – Win 10 
  d.. the TQSL version you're using – v 2.3 
  e.. a summary of the help you need
I have tried to contact you by phone and only gotten to voicemail.  I had hoped to have answers for the members, but to no avail. 

 

Last night at our SFDXA club meeting there were questions about how to get the new WSJT FT-8 mode QSOs to be recognized by LOTW. 

 

Is there a way?  will there need to be an update to TQSL before it will work ?  

 

What can I tell the club members as to the timing of this, if you have an idea. 

 

Thanks for your help.
