"Upl Cnf", if I understand it correctly, means that ithe uploaded QSO
has been confirmed on LotW. LotW marks confirmed QSOs by putting the
country name in the table. (You don't give an entity when uploading a
QSO, you just provide your country. The other station tells LotW what
entity their side of the QSO took place from. Then LotW has the info
it needs to put the country name in the confirmation.)
I think it's working as intended.

Thanks for the reply, Rick. Guess I am either still unclear on the concept
or I am doing something wrong. Let me provide a specific example:
I uploaded my log from mid December 2007 to the current date. This included
some 20 VP6DX contacts. All 20 of these VP6DX QSOs were matched on LoTW. But
on the LoTW web page some VP6DX QSOs showed the country name "Ducie Island"
and for other VP6DX QSOs the country name was blank. When I downloaded the
ADIF file from the ARRL server (having selected "Imported QSO set Upload
Confirmed Flag") those QSOs for which the country name was shown as "Ducie
Island" had a "Y" in the "Upl Cnf" column of my DX4WIN log. Those QSOs for
which the country was blank in LoTW did not have a "Y" in the "Upl Cnf"
column of DX4WIN.
This was very obvious with the VP6DX QSOs since there were so many in one
block. So I checked back at QSOs with other stations. Same thing.... Even if
confirmed in LoTW, if there is no county name in the column there is not a
"Y" in the "Upl Cnf" column of DX4WIN

"Upl Cnf", if I understand it correctly, means that ithe uploaded QSO has
been confirmed on LotW. LotW marks confirmed QSOs by putting the country
