Add not found (LoTW)

Post by F6EXV »

Hi all
Has anyone experienced the same thing ?
When importing LoTW QSLs, and the box "Add not found QSOs to the log" is ticked, in the case a QSO is added to the log, the QSL received field is set to Yes.

IF so, is this a bug ?

If the QSO was not in the log but on LOTW it means the other station uploaded it.

Therefore when you download the QSO it has already been matched (Verified) at LOTW so the QSO should be marked LOTW Confirmation received = Y

Please stop downloading and uploading LOTW QSO's untill I have finished work on your database

Did you receive my email from yesterday

Hi Terry
Yes, I have received your email. TU.
The problem mentionned above is that the QSL marked received is for paper card, not for LoTW....

Perhaps I missunderstood!

Are you saying the QSO was already in your log and that you had received a paper card confirmation and submitted the card for confirmation?

No
The QSO was not in my log.
I downloaded LoTW confirmation, and QSOs not in log were added because I ticked that box.
When I look at the added QSO in my log, it shows paper card received, and LoTW does not show confirmed...

Is it possible to check physically if you received a QSL card even though the QSO is not in the log?

What are the details of the QSO - Date, Call of other station, Band & Mode - I should be able to find it in the download files I am dealing with

No, you will not find it, as I did that this morning.
No, a paper card was not received.If the QSO was in the log before, I could have marked a card received, but I cannot mark a card received if the QSO is not in the log... In addition, once the QSO was added to the log, it did NOT show LoTW received, which it should have...
AS said, the added QSO should have indicated LoTW confirmation received instead of paper confirmation received.
