If you're not auto-logging from WSJT-X, but manually entering your logs, and you don't put the correct mode/submode, that's on you... WSJT-X automatically logs it correctly, and that log can be directly uploaded to LOTW without modification..
Example (from a message I just sent, creating a new thread..): <call:8>2W2UHM/P <gridsquare:4>RA74 <mode:4>MFSK <submode:3>FT4 <rst_sent:3>-13 <rst_rcvd:3>-04 <qso_date:8>20190731 <time_on:6>174731 <qso_date_off:8>20190731 <time_off:6>174745 <band:3>20m <freq:9>14.081654 <station_callsign:4>AI8W <my_gridsquare:6>EN82JG <comment:28>FT4 50W Sent: -13 Rcvd: -04 <eor> The auto-created ADIF log from WSJT-X correctly logs the correct mode and submode for FT4. de AI8W, Chris On Wed, Jul 31, 2019 at 1:50 PM Dave Slotter, W3DJS <slotter+w3...@gmail.com> wrote: > Topher, > > What about when someone uses TQSL to map FT4 to DATA, and the other person > on a QSO does not, and they both upload their logs (with different > mappings)?
