Like many others I was delighted to see the arrival of LOTW -- even if it's only a beta trial.
I read the online material, followed the instructions to the letter and uploaded my logbook (containing 7300 entries) in a near flawless exercise. It couldn't have been easier! That having been said, the secret was in reading the "Getting Started" material and then following the instructions -- no exceptions allowed. Now barely 24 hours later, I have 20 cross-referenced hits to my log. Yes the log checking process does show us we must keep good records -- understandably, it doesn't like O instead of 0 in a call-sign. To the gentleman who said he wouldn't upgrade to the newest release of DX4WIN because of the horror stories associated with upgrading I respectfully offer the following comment. If you follow the upgrade instructions 'without exception' and do the steps in an orderly fashion, the upgrade goes very smoothly. It is as you've asked it to be -- very user friendly and I might add -- painless! 73 de Paul, VE7AVV StoneyGround Station -|<*><*>||<*><*>||<*><*>||<*><*>||<*><*>||<*><*>||<*><*>||<*><*>|- "All email from this address is checked by Norton AntiVirus 2003" Are you registered for DX2003 - Pacific Northwest DX Convention?
