Art et.al, Ya, this seems to be an oversight. Our intent was not to record any QSLR date for LOTW and only have a QSLR date for an actual card. Doesn't appear that we coded that although that was the intent. Will take care of this next time.

You should be able to retain the card received date. I don't think you need both. How about an choice in the user options? As to Bill O'Reilly, even my text leans to right.
