LoTW download fail

I have about 189 confirmed QSOs on LoTW. Log4OM does not download anything successfully when I try to download QSLs received. No errors, just nothing downloaded.

Please let me know if you want the support log zip file.

Guy,

First some questions

1. Has Log4OM ever successfully downloaded from LOTW
2. Does the upload to LOTW work

Hi Terry,

1) No. The download process itself seems to work okay itself, it is just that no records are downloaded (see attached screenshot).

2) Yes (once I got some issues sorted out - all user error with LoTW not Log4OM)

Best 73, Guy

Guy,
It's quiet possible that there were no confirmations received since the 1st October, try setting the start date to twelve months ago and see if you then get any confirmations downloaded

Terry,

I set it for the 1st September (that was before I got OTA again) and nothing. If I log into ,my LoTW account, I see confirmed 68 QSLs (my previous figure I posted was an error - I mistook QSOs confirmed with QSLs).

I have posted a screen shot of where I an seeing the QSLs.

1. select debug mode in the help menu - Do not restart the program after doing this
2. Attempt another download from LOTW using a start date of 01/01/2014
3. in the help menu select "Send Bug Report"
4. Complete all of the questions on the form
5. Send me the resulting zip file by email


DO NOT POST THE FILE ON THIS FORUM BECAUSE IT CONTAINS SENSITIVE INFORMATION

For everyone's benefit the problem was an incorrect password.

Guy now has a fully functioning LOTW download

I have just made my first successful LoTW download thanks to Terry.

In the manual, it seems to suggest that (bottom page 111 in the manual) that 'verified' should appear, 'validated' not being a valid ADIF parameter. I only have 'validated' for confirmed QSOs. Is this a LoTW quirk?

Many thanks again Terry.
