Yup. It's a two-way street. I hope the API lets us do the following: Click a DX4WIN button that amounts to "Submit new QSOs". DX4WIN will need a QSO flag to mark QSOs that have been sent to LOTW. "Submit new QSOs" will convert and sign all QSOs since the last submission, and upload them to the ARRL web site (or just create a .TQ8 file that we can upload ourselves). Then as Pete describes, we need a way to get data back from ARRL that DX4WIN can use to update the QSOs award flags (maybe to Submitted). The "QSL Received" field needs an extra option like "L" for LOTW, which is also considered "Confirmed" as far as award submissions is concerned (I don't think DX4WIN considers the awards flags valid if the QSO is not confirmed). 73 - Jim AD1C ===== Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.com PGP Fingerprint: D8E2 3D78 339F A7F1 8C13 1193 B5D1 4FB6 79D1 70DC
