Hello Cormac,

Is this the answer may be?

Apparently if the QSL SENT STATUS is marked I - Ignore/invalid then the QSO is considered to be invalid not just ignore the QSL sent status the whole QSO! and therefore it is not included in any of the statistics or displays! I did not realise this, I thought the identification I - ignore/invalid related only to the QSL SENT STATUS not the QSO as a whole :-(
All that is required is to change the QSO's that have the QSL SENT STATUS set to I-Ignore/invalid to N then restart the program and all will be displayed correctly.


(I had a similar question and got this answer from Terry a few days ago)

I curious to hear from you.

73's, Evert PA2KW

Evert,

Many thanks for the suggestion - it works! Below is a screen grab that shows the consequence of changing the QSL Sent Status from "I" to "N" for a verified LoTW QSO (I did this for RW0A as a test); it results in the Statistics and awards screen displaying correct information (after "settings->recalculate") for confirmed band/mode. I include the earlier screen grab with the incorrect indication for ease of reference (look at Asiatic Russia, 20m SSB)...

...and the original screen grab showing Asiatic Russia 20m SSB as unconfirmed, because the paper QSL sent status for all QSOs is set to "I" (I do this as I have a QSL policy of not sending any paper QSLs unless someone sends me a paper QSL first in which case I update the QSL status for the relevant QSO so as to generate a paper QSL for that QSO).

This is excellent news - many thanks Evert (and to Terry) for spotting this. Just for information, the entry in the Log4OM manual for the "I" status indicates the following:

I-Ignore or invalid – The user does not want to send a QSL, perhaps because it is a local station he works everyday, perhaps the QSO was with a pirate or unrecognized DXCC entity or a card checker rejected the QSO. (page 114)

This behaviour appears to be an unintended cascade consequence of selecting "I" for a QSO paper QSL status...

...but here's something else I don't understand: Look at Iceland, 20m It's confirmed via paper QSL for CW and validated for both SSB and RTTY via LoTW, however while each mode is green, 20m is yellow... (note view is "QSL and LOTW status")
