Steve, Wow! I had the same problem when I switched to DX4WIN in January. The Freeware software dumped the oldest QSO when I made a new entry. Thanks to LoTW I was able to recover the whole thing.
First start with a new log file and then import all those LoTW files into it. After you are satisfied it is OK, make a backup of your main log and put it in a safe place just in case. Now import the log you created from the LoTW log. Choose to ignore duplicate QSOs. This is what I did and everything was recovered. 73 AD6ZJ, Loren --- On Thu, 3/31/11, Steve K7AWB <k7awbg...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: Steve K7AWB <k7awbg...@gmail.com> > Subject: [Dx4win] merge question > To: Dx4win@mailman.qth.net > Date: Thursday, March 31, 2011, 7:41 PM > A friend has his DX4WIN log which may > be missing several thousand QSOs due to an error in a > previous competitive program (made before the transfer to > DX4WIN as the new main logging program now).
