LOTW flag??

Post by KD0ZV »

So it is my understanding LOTW users lose the Log4OM flag when they have no uploaded in a year.

What happens if someone is a new LOTW user and has not used it yet?

Example below. DXpedition. LOTW says station has never uploaded a log.

Log4OM has conflicting info. Shows LOTW user by their name but the cluster does not indicate that.

I believe yellow is from your Primary Info Provider and the cluster flag is from LOTWList.

I was not aware that you could pull LOTW info from my provider (QRZ). That is a user setting that you cant trust and has little value in my opinion.

Seems they should both reflect whatever is in the LOTW file that Log4OM downloads??

I guess as long as I know how it works.

The two indicators are derived from data downloaded from the ARRL/LOTW and as far as we are concerned is PROBABLY the most accurate information available.

No they come from EQSL and an external QSL source, I was only refering to LOTW because that was the questioners issue

This is the result in LOg4OM.

This pretty much proofs that the lookup of EQSL and Bureau QSL is derived from my primary info provider which is qrz.com

OK super good info.

As I said as long as I know how it works.

I have just found the QRZ LOTW indicator to often be "falsely" set by the QRZ user.... But as mentioned this combination is probably the best indicator out there.


Thanks guys.
