For the past 2 or 3 days my LOTW downloads fail with the following message as seen in Log4OM download window:

2/20/2019 15:52:25: Begin ADIF generation request

I sent an email to the LOTW people and they said ask the Log4OM people. Can someone tell me what the problem might be??

Read the file referred to in the error log and it will explain what the problem is

Or send the file to me if you don't understand it

Ok...looked at it again and spent some more time....I guess it was my lotw password. Recently I had to change my pw to log into the arrl web site to upgrade my arrl membership. I guess lotw uses the same password. After i went into lotw and changed it there all was well. I guess i would have expected to see something jump up and say wrong password when I attempted the download.

Thanks,

Make sure your password does not have any special characters in it just numbers and letters, no spaces


Deffinately nothing like
