I would do a bulk upload followed by a bulk download from all external services using the QSL Manager before you go any further - Set the start date at or before the date of your oldest QSO - That should synchronise everything.

Then set external services to upload to LOTW on close which will then just upload any QSO's after the date of the latest one uploaded in the step above.

If all else fails for a fuller explanation you could watch the three youtube tutorials on 'confirmations' or read the user guide

Clearly dont upload QSOs that have already been submitted or you will get dupes

No Get It Right!

LOTW does not delete dupes

Log4OM does not accept dupes on download or import

Correct and you can't delete them from LOTW so be sure that you don't upload QSOs that were already uploaded before
