I created an ADIF file from the LoTW to import to my DxBase2005 log. Of
course, I made a copy of the log and ran it in Do Not Load mode. I received a
lot of errors, usually due to the Canadian state mismatch and some counties.
But I also noticed some other Warnings that were strange. For example:
Warning: County? NS2P 20021117 0103 80m DIGITAL NY SAINT LAWRENCE
Obviously it doesn't like the county, which I understand. However, it says
that this QSO is digital. Here is the LoTW .ADI file record for that QSO:
<APP_LoTW_OWNCALL:4>K1EP
<CALL:4>NS2P
<BAND:3>80M
<MODE:3>SSB
<QSO_DATE:8>20021117
<TIME_ON:6>010300
<QSL_RCVD:1>Y
<QSLRDATE:8>20040514
<DXCC:3>291
<CQZ:1>5
<ITUZ:1>8
<GRIDSQUARE:4>FN24
<STATE:2>NY
<CNTY:17>NY,SAINT LAWRENCE

Same thing with this:
Warning: County? KL7RA 20020303 2010 15m DIGITAL AK FAIRBANKS NORTH STAR
Here is the log data:
<APP_LoTW_OWNCALL:4>K1EP
<CALL:5>KL7RA
<BAND:3>15M
<MODE:3>SSB
<QSO_DATE:8>20020303
<TIME_ON:6>201000
<QSL_RCVD:1>Y
<QSLRDATE:8>20040302
<DXCC:1>6
<CQZ:1>1
<ITUZ:1>1
<GRIDSQUARE:4>BP64
<STATE:2>AK
<CNTY:23>AK,FAIRBANKS NORTH STAR
<eor>
Clearly these were not Digital QSOs. I just happened to notice the warnings as
I don't normally operate in digital modes. Do I have to wonder whether the
import of LoTW data is going to corrupt my database and change QSO details such
as mode or band, etc.? Or is this just a report problem?
