Been away for a while now using a new PC and new install of 2.8.0.0. I am just about finished with setup and noticed after entering my own Callsign I am not listed as a LOTW User. EQSL and QRZ is there, I have all my data entered in the external services so not sure whats going on. This may not be a Log4OM problem per se but I would like to know if maybe I am missing something in setup on this end. I have done a QSO download which worked I have not added any new QSO's yet. Not sure what it takes for it to trigger or recognize me as a LOTW user any help appreciated.

The most current LOTW users file shows your last upload was almost 2 years ago. I believe log4om only considers you a LoTW user if you have uploaded in the last 12 months. You can refresh Log4OM's LoTW user file in Settings-->Update Resources.

It is also a good idea to list LoTW as one of your QSL methods at HamQTH and other call lookup sites.

Thank you, I have just sent in some QSO's but now don't look like its getting through to LOTW looking into that. I will also check the other services and verify or add myself as a LOTW user.

ARRL updates the lotw-user-activity.csv file around once per week so there will be a delay before your status change is picked up by clients.

Thanks I will certainly wait and give it a full week or more.

If you had not successfully uploaded to LOTW in the last 12 months that is why you are not shown as a LOTW user as Log4OM drops people off that are not active.

I see you uploaded 7/17 so just wait a few days as mentioned above and see what happens.

You might do update resources/LOTW users under the settings menu in Log4OM every once in a while. That wont speed things up on Logbook of the Worlds end but will force the file update to Log4OM when they do.
