The choices today are only as follows: 1) Update the qsl status received via LOTW. 2) Replace the entire qso with that uploaded from LOTW which is not a good thing, although it does populate the state, county, country, zone, etc., fields. You would soon learn to check these fields very carefully, before you allowed them to be changed because a LOT of people on LOTW do not know their own information and have it WRONG in LOTW. Just for a quick check, what is your ARRL Zone, CQ Zone, Grid, and if you were DX or on an island IOTA? DX4WIN is a really fine program and these type of neat updates are not without many obstacles. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 8:10 PM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] Problem w/ADIF import from LOTW How does one update the State County fields while importing a ADIF from LOTW. When using the demo version I could upload these same ADIF files and the fields would populate just fine. Is there a setting that I'm missing?

Yes, this worked fine. Along this line, YB7M was on the air tonight stating they were giving out a new IOTA, OC-268. But when OC268 is typed into the DX4WIN IOTA box it is not accepted. I put it into the NOTES FOR THIS CALL box instead. How does one add a new IOTA to the list?
