When the LoTW goes live big time. I believe we will all have to resubmit and do it all over again.
But once that happens, you will only need to update. I've experimented with that now. Using the wizard I now tell it to create the .adi FILE with qso's > then the last update date. Sometimes that is 10 qso's, usually less. It appends the update to your existing qso/qsl list. I'm pretty sure the system will remain that way. Most logical way of doing it. Shorter upload times etc. Now remember, if you have a log with a callsign other than what your presently using such as I do. WN9VOL, WA9VOL and now W9OL, you must submit a certification and separate log for each callsign. As my previous callsigns were prior to the 1998 date, I have not been able to submit for a certification or the logs as yet. So it is important to make sure that the timeframe for qso's and Operator call are correct. Wizard will allow you to select qso's based on the operator call. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Morrow Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "FireBrick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2003 8:03 AM Subject: Re: [DXBase] Basics of submitting LoTW > Thanks for the LOTW info.
