Follow up on the LoTW ADIF report import process: In addition to loading the LoTW ADIF download QSL file into a clean database, I also tried to import this file into my regular log. The ADIF file had 2816 QSO records representing "QSLs" resulting from the LoTW matching process.
The import process produced 2816 Errors as duplicate records. There were 127 Warnings that turned out to be the VE province warning when ADIF labeled it as a "State". Good news!! There were NO RECORDS IMPORTED because they were all duplicates. That means there were absolutely no time discrepancies in the ARRL reported log "QSL" and my original log as submitted to LoTW using the DXBase 2004 selection process. According to the LoTW web site, my QSL total as of tonight is 2887 for log submissions from 1998 to the end of September 2003. I am confident that a simple update of the CFM status to "LoTW" for a special ADIF import process to my existing log would serve to be able to use DXBase 2004 to process DXCC and WAS award submissions when the LoTW credit is permitted.
