Hi Roger Thanks for a very nice description. Easy to follow. I think Paul or Jim/AD1C should put this up on either web page and include in the manual. I agree completely that the intent is for entire logs to be uploaded, and I think Paul has made that very easy. Some of the questions we users have asked may have implied it was otherwise. There are a couple of things that need corrected or suggested in Roger's write up, however. - The log file uploaded to LoTW need not be named with your callsign. I typically name mine by date so I can track them, i.e. "051304.adi" works just fine. - The file downloaded FROM the LoTW is in ADIF format already, at least by using the "Your QSOs" and "Download Report" buttons on the LoTW site. I don't know how he's getting an HTML file unless he's using browser/Windows commands, like cut/paste. - There's really no need to create any "extra" logbook to find your new award counters. Simply looking at your award summary on LoTW and clicking on the Challenge line will display a table of all new credits by band with a/the callsign associated with the credit. 73, Steve -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The signing routine in TQSL is fairly slow, so doing the whole log at once would be a pain! Also agreed re the format of the downloaded report -- I import them directly into a new log file in DX4WIN to enable me to keep separate stats on my LotW DXCC (currently 113 countries confirmed). 73, Pete N4ZR The World HF Contest Station Database was updated on April 26, 2004 2706 contest stations at www.pvrc.org/WCSD/WCSDsearch.htm
