LoTW download

Version 1.17.1

LoTW seems broken.

I can upload QSO's to LoTW with no problem, but downloads don't work. The procedure "seems" to go fine, but always returns ZERO new matches, and transpires very rapidly. Seemed unusual, so went online to the LoTW site, and there are many new matches which Log4OM didn't harvest.

Out of curiosity looked at the log, and it seems that the LoTW download isn't using the LoTW password, but rather the ClubLog password.

Below is an excerpt from the log. The password shown (disguised here) is my ClubLog password, not my LoTW password. (I know my LoTW password is correctly entered because UPLOADS to LoTW work as expected.)

It's not that Hans,

The file is being downloaded but there is a miss match of the ADIF format.

My guess is that this is due to the LOTW attempts to change to ADIF 3.04

I will check this today and get back to you

Two things.....

Thing 1) The password being attempted is NOT my LoTW password, but my ClubLog password.

Thing 2) Below (from the log) is the file LoTW returns:

Hi Hans,
I have just checked with my set up and the LOTW download works fine for me, see image below. I tried with and without a date range, same results!

Have you tried re-entering your LOTW password?

Alternatively perhaps you had a bad download and/or install, its probably worth trying a fresh download/install - Don't forget to uninstall the old version first!
