In order to be able to use QSOs and confirmations in several awards,
someone needs to enable 2 fields. The first one is
File>preferences>Station
and the 2nd one File>Awards and the award you want
I believe you have unchecked something somewhere of these two. For
example you need to check LotW under dxcc in order lotw confirmations
work for your dxcc
from the help file for station
"Specify the bands and modes of interest.
Disabled bands and modes will not be shown in the various summaries and
reports, and will not be considered when making submissions for awards
or flagging QSOs for which a label should be printed. The DX spotting
colors and audio alerts also make use of these settings.
When a band or a mode is disabled they can still be entered in a QSO.
*Bands *Select the bands of interest.
*Modes *Select the modes of interest.
*VUCC *bands The bands shown in a Grid listing or the Grid summary window
Mode groupSelect the award groups of interest"
and also from help file for awards
"The awards window defines the parameters for an award, like bands,
modes and starting dates that can be used for an award. The form is
organized using a tab for each award. The contents for each tab is
identical. This implies that some band / mode combinations are allowed
for which there is no 'certificate' available
The fields are as follows:
Confirmation Indicates which QSO confirmation(s) can be used for the award
Mode group Indicates which mode group(s) can be used for the award
Awards Indicates which awards can be applied for
Valid modes Indicates which QSO modes are allowed for the award
Valid bands Indicates which bands are allowed for the award
Award bands Indicates which bands can be used for a separate band award
Start dates A number of awards accept only QSOs made after a certain
date. An empty date indicates that there is no starting date.
Confirmation Starting date for the type of confirmation
Mode group Starting date for the mode group
Awards Starting date for the specified award type
Modes Starting date for the specified award mode
Bands Starting date for the specified award band"

Good afternoon Mike.
I understand what you are describing, but it seems when I upload to
LOTW, it does not change anything to submitted, as with a paper qsl.
When I download from LOTW to DX4WIN, it changes the "w" to a "C" but
not for band or mode
As described, my 30m FT8 when imported from LOTW should have been band
and mode confirmed, yet nothing
My 12m FT8 should have been mode only since 12m was confirmed previously
IF I go to submit LOTW contacts, nothing shows in the submission report
IF I confirm those same two contacts with an F2 (paper qsl) , shows as
suppose to be. That's where the conundrum comes from

Hello Steve,
Not sure I understand you correctly, but....
The country Window shows what you have Worked, selected for printing a
Label, Mailed for a card, or Confirmed.
The Mixed, Band, and Mode boxes at the bottom of the QSO window show
what
you have submitted for DXCC (or other award) credit. They will not
change
from the two dashes until you submit those QSOs for credit. When you
submit
them, they will change to S. When the credits have been awarded, you
change
them to C for Checked by selecting:
Reports > Award Flags > Change award flags. For EACH award (mixed,
band,
and/or mode, whatever those QSOs apply to), under Action, select:
Submitted
-> Checked.
Then, and only then, will you see a "C" for checked in those boxes.
Hope this answers your question.

Subject: [Dx4win] LOTW confirmations
Good afternoon, when we last got together, I was having issues
confirming
certain awards using LOTW. I was advised and did, check the award
setting
and included LOTW ih the Award report generator I thought I was set,
UNTIL>>>>>
I received LOTW confirmations for T7 on 12 and 30m, both digital Both
showed as worked in the country "box" and when LOTW confirmed,
changed to
"C", but MIXED BAND MODE box, neither confirmations are indicated. I
double
checked and these two contacts were unique to the other T7.
Suggestions? If it does this to the T7 contacts, how many other LOTW
contacts am I not showing?
Thanks in advance
Steve KF2TI
