LoTW download - confirmation file

Post by kd5mlb »

Hi,

I recently downloaded all my logs from a previous logging program and now I want to download all my DXCC confirmations from LoTW. However, some of them are not marked as "validated" in Log4OM. As an example: I worked 9V1YC for a new mode on 40m this weekend. It's confirmed on LoTW but it still shows as needed in Log4OM. Here's how I generated the file.

1) Click QSL Management to get to Post Office
2) Set Search Limit Count on Post Office page to 0
3) Click the Download button (Down arrow). Download LoTW page pops up
4) Set QSL Rcvd Since dropdown to the first qsl in log (2008)
5) Click Download.

The ADIF request is accepted and the download begins. Says 5146 qso's found. The operation complete tab pops up and I click OK, then exit the Post Office and go into Utilities / Statistics / Country QSO status grid. Under Singapore, the Phone box is still blank.

Did I miss a step?

Im using TQSL v1.14.3 and configuration data v2.6. My Log4OM is 1.15.0.0.

After the download from LoTW the 9V1YC qso in my log has a LoTW received date of 10/28/2013 so It looks like Log4OM read the confirmation file, but it still shows as not worked my Country / QSO Status Grid.

Hi ?
Cant understand why you would set the 'Search Limit count' to 0 (Zero)?

Please do the following, without setting the count to zero ....

1. Goto QSL Management/QSL Management
2. Select the LOTW tab
3. Click the down pointing arrow
4. Set the 'QSL received since' date to 1st January 2000
5. Click OK when the 'Operation complete' window appears but do not close the download window
6. In the download window click the save button indicated in the screenshot below and save the file to your desktop with a meaningful name
7. Search the resulting text file for 9V1YC using Edit/find in Notepad - You should see a line containing QSO Updated -- Call: 9V1YC Date Etc Etc
8. Close Log4OM and restart.
9. Check if in Utilities/Statistics/ window Country/QSO Status grid shows the country now not just worked but confirmed/validated on Phone on the correct band

Sorry its a long list but I want to ensure that you and I are following exactly the same path because it all works 100% for me!

If it is still not working correctly please do the following because it could be a bad download or install causing this to happen to you.

1. Uninstall Log4OM having first backed up your data
2. Download a fresh copy of Log4OM from our website
3. Install the new download as normal
4. Check if all now works as it should.

Please let me know how you get on
