[Dx4win] FW: LOTW d/l file
I had a similar problem with QSO's upload from WriteLog, however I my case those QSO's were also imported into DX4WIN. Discovered the problem to be the upload file WriteLog created designated the mode as PHONE, where as DX4WIN had the mode as SSB. Doing a little research discovered that SSB will be matched to PHONE but not reverse. Since then the LOTW upload file is always created by DX4WIN. This has eliminated majority of problems or issues with trying to track the LOTW confirmations.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN in DEMO mode
Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I could not find a K7ACZ.~XL or DX4WIN.BAK file. I think this is because I opened DX4WIN right away again in a panic to see if those Q's were there or not. I should have taken a minute and looked for these files first. I think when I reopened the program I wrote over or canceled any DX4WIN.BAK or ~XL file that might have been saved. I do know from experience if the PC crashes and I reopen DX4WIN after a PC crash I will get a message telling me the program quit unexpectedly and a backup file had been created and I should possibly use this file. That has always been correct, Q's I would have lost when the PC crashed were saved in this backup file and I rename it to my DXL file and all is well. However, when closing DX4WIN and I got the message that I was in DEMO mode and my Q's would not be saved I didn't think about looking for a backup file if one was created. Some have suggested if you double or triple click the icon to open the program that might cause it to go to the demo mode. I tried that and sure enough after several attempts it did open in DEMO mode once. The lesson learned is that when I open D4W I look at the top of the main window and be sure it says the correct version number, my name and call. And if I work someone I really need do a ALT S to write that Q into the DXL file right away. ___ Alan Zack Amateur Radio Station K7ACZ Subject: Re: DX4WIN in DEMO mode You might have a backup file - check your dx4w707 directory for a .DXB or .~XB file, see if they are later than your log. You will have to copy the files to your SAVE directory and give them a .DXL extension. ALSO: Have you checked your K7ACZ.~XL and K7ACZ backup files? I think it's in the Backup subfolder in the DX4WIN folder. It may be named DX4WIN.BAK or something similar. The K7ACZ.~XL file will be in your DX4WIN SAVE folder. You might try each of those, to see if the missing Q's are in one or both of them. __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

I had the same problem when I uploaded Qs to LoTW from my contest program (N1MM) and forgot to import them into DX4WIN. 73 de Terry KK6T Mel Martin wrote: > You got a message... but are the QSOs actually in the log?

Re: [Dx4win] LOTW d/l file
You got a message... but are the QSOs actually in the log? Do the modes match? DON'T import them. There is no reason there should be confirmed Qs on LotW that are not in your log. My guess at this point is you have encountered the "Mode mismatch bug". I have this problem with Olivia contacts. F.R.
