In the HELP file it states that LoTW will accept a ADIF and CABRILLO
file. I did not find any prompt about a tq8 file and figured it was
not needed in v1.14.1.
*READ* the help file again! From the first page of the Introduction:
TQSL accepts QSOs in a log file whose format is either ADIF or
Cabrillo, which many logging applications can export.
That does not say LotW will accept an ADIF or CABRILLO file - it says
that trusted QSL will *sign* an ADIF or CABRILLO file. Trusted QSL
first *converts* any CABRILLO file to an ADIF and then signs the
ADIF by attaching the certificate and station location data then
performing a data integrity step (so that LotW can be sure the data
is not tampered with in the future).
Your ADIF is *not* uploaded directly - it must be processed by tQSL
before LotW will accept it. Period, full stop, end of story.
*READ what the documentation says*, not what you think is says.

I checked my ADIF file and it has the calls to up load correct. The ADIF
file is located in C:\LoTW as ks0m149.ADI. That is the file I selected for
the TQSL to "sign and upload. It did not do that. I tried to attach the
file to email and LoTW cannot find the attachment in the ADIF format.
I have tried twice this morning to up load the file with no success. If
this version needs a tq8 file how do I make one ?
My CERT is active and my profile info is correct. I am at a loss as to what
to do next.

Hi Dick,
I have no idea why TQSL did not automatically send the file but you can only
upload a TQ8 file not an adi file to LOTW.
When I updated my TQSL program I just started the new downloaded file and it
removed the earlier version, kept all my certs, and was ready to go and it
did work fine here.

First time to try LoTW TQSL v. 1.14.1 I have tried two times to up
load a file to LoTW. I get the following message "Your message did not
appear to have a TrustedQSL file attached to it." DX4WIN is latest
8.xxx version. Both mail show the LoTW file attached.
Here is what I did.
In DX4WIN made a ADIF file (ks0m149).ADI and saved it in my C:\LoTW file
.
Opened TQSL - File - "Select file to sign and upload ADIF or CABRILLO
file."
Selected the ks0m149.ADI file in C:\LoTW
The file (C:\lotw\ks0m149.ADI) will be signed and up loaded using Station
loc = Fulton Call=ks0m, DXCC= USA Is that correct - yes.
I thought then the file was automatically up loaded. It apparently was
not sent.
I then opened a e-mail addressed to LoTW and attached "ks0m149.ADI"
(in my C:\LoTW file) and sent to ARRL LoTW as usually done.
Did this twice and both were rejected.
What did I miss or doing wrong?
