Before I go ahead with an awards submission via LoTW I want to be sure of how I will record it in DXB2005 when completed .
It looks to me like I will have to manually set the DXCC flag in the Awards column in my log to indicate that the associated LoTW 'QSL' as been used toward DXCC. I cannot let DXB2005 do this automatically because experimentally I find that DXB2005 will select a different card (same country/band/mode but a different Q) from time to time than LoTW would do, although most of the selections will be the same. The LoTW award application procedure does produce all the information needed to identify the exact Q's it has selected, but this information must be manually delt with at this point. Anyone have another take on this?

In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Checking with W1ZT and others seems to confirm that this is the only way to do it at the present time, Ron. It's a pain for now. I sent a note to N7NG this week suggesting that the "Award Credit Matrix" (that's NOT the DXCC Award Matrix, which just shows an "X" for each band-mode) in LoTW be sortable by prefix and not just display alphabetically by Entity. For now, that is a major PITA, at least for us DXbasers.
