I decided to import LOTW info into DX4WIN today to see if I would pick up a few band-countries. I did, but I also picked up a country that I didn't even remember I had worked. After some investigation, I think I figured it out>
The country I had worked was in my LOTW QSO/QSL database. The QSO was way back in 2003. For some reason, this QSO had been deleted from my DX4WIN log sometime after uploading it to LOTW. Today, when I imported my QSO information this QSO reappeared in my DX4WIN log AND it was marked confirmed. My country count climbed by one. That's great, but here are the things that concerned me. 1) This occurred without my knowledge. I have my log separated into 2 pieces: QSO's at my previous QTH prior to 11/1/2005 and QSO's at my current QTH. They are separated with the GROUP number with the old ones using GROUP number 0 and the new ones using GROUP number 1. This QSO was entered in my log and given GROUP number 1 because that is now my default. Unfortunately, this QSO should be in GROUP number 0. 2) This QSO marked the CONFIRMED flag. I usually used the Upl Cnf flag for LOTW QSO's, not the Cnf flag. I had a heck of a time finding this. Is there a way I can search for all QSO's that have been inserted thanks to LOTW that weren't in my log before I did the import? Is there a way I can search for all QSO's with a GROUP number of 1, but with a date prior to 11/1/2005?

I have been keeping 2 separate logs: one for my day-to-day operations and another for multi-op contests in which my call is used. I want my awards tracking to only be done with my day-to-day log. I want to keep things separated! Now, in comes LOTW. I uploaded both logs using a different station location for each since my multi-op contest log is from a different county. Now, when I download my LOTW QSL report, QSLs from both sets of logs are in the report. I mistakenly imported this report into my day-to-day log and wound up with a bunch of QSLs from a multi-op contest which I didn't want in there. I was able to use the filter to find them all and delete them, but ... what a pain. Isn't there a simple way of either: 1) Downloading only QSLs corresponding to a particular station location from LOTW OR 2) Filtering out QSLs from a particular station before importing the report into DX4WIN Another thing I realize is that the awards tracking done by LOTW itself uses both sets of information. This isn't right. This makes awards tracking on LOTW worthless for those of us that have used our call for a multi-op contest effort. LOTW isn't turning out to be quite as useful as I had thought.

The thing is that I wanted to try PSK31 and I am not receiving (no waterfall window) anything from the radio, nor sending..! Are there any other special parameters to configure to work PSK from DX4WIN..? Tnx.!

DX4WIN gets the CFGQSL info back from LOTW in one file , How can a program recognize that this is from 2 separated logs with the same call? You should have 2 separated logins @ LOTW for separated calls But since it is the same call you use I don?t know if this Is possible in LOTW. Check there first if it would be possible.
