Fine business. Hopefully, by the end of this week, I can vouch what the new
Worked All States awards look like. I had 49 states confirmed by LoTW, I then
submitted a card for the remaining state and was told on Monday the award had
been issued. I was really impressed with the ARRL's quick turnaround time.

Carlos,

You need to install the Trusted QSL software from the ARRL web site.
It will convert the file and sign it so you can upload the .tq8 to
LOTW.  See here for instructions, downloads, etc.:

Use this program to enter your paper logs.

Then use the trusted qsl program to get the tq 5 or what ever it is.

Jim,
Great April Fools joke.
Telling someone who has already done the work to put their log into
ADIF format to enter their data all over again. Brilliant.

Carlos, since it's no longer April first (zulu): all you need to do is
to install TrustedQSL. That will allow you to convert your existing log
to a .TQ8 file.
          -Rick

He said he works only with paper logs so I stand by my answer.  He has
to get them into the computer.

Carlos,

The TQSL program you created your log with also has an option
under File to sign your log, that will create the TQ8 for you.

I've made like your information, and all OK.

Carlos your doing just fine  keep up the good work.  I had 17000 QSO to put in
to a logging program, took me a year, so take your time and do not burn your
self out.

Jim

Carlos I still keep a paper log as a back up.  I still get some requests for
confirmations on EQsl that are not in the computer log that I have to check in
the paper log for.  So far when I check the paper log, they were not in any log.

When making an entry in my paper log I will catch a problem ether with the paper
log or the computer log.  So I make changes.  Not getting any younger so I do
make mistakes.  Paper log helps me to catch those mistakes.

I have every thing uploaded to EQSL and LOTW from 1968 to being current this
year.  I still get confirmations from 1995 or so here on LOTW and EQSL.  You
just never know all ways a surprise.

Jim

For anyone else wanting to submit a hybrid WAS application, go for it! My
certificate came Friday, I thought that was pretty quick especially compared to
DXCC.

FP/K9OT from beautiful Miquelon in July for the IARU contest

I uploaded about 250 QSO's from last weekends contest.  About a third to half
have been confirmed as uploaded, and many of those have been matched to other
users uploads (confirmed QSO).

The rest are still sitting there unconfirmed as uploaded.  Should it take this
long??

No, no, no.  You don't understand how radio works! (trivia - where's that line
from?)

I fully understand that most amateurs, especially DX, are not LoTW members.  I
use ACLOG, which, in turn, uses TrustedQSL to upload entries to LoTW.  The ACLOG
log entries are marked (S)ent for those that have been accepted and processed by
LoTW.  In addition, the entries that are eventually matched against a QSO
uploaded by someone else are marked (R)eceived.

The question is why were some of my most recent 250 entries pretty quickly
marked (S)ent, but after a week most have not.

Querying the unmarked uploads directly on www.arrl.com/lotw returns no records,
so it's not a problem with ACLOG.

Subject: [ARRL-LOTW] I need some clarification

Recently a member here posted directions on how to bring up your credits from LOTW and list then in an EXCEL spreadsheet.

 

Well, I did that.  I went into LOTW and went to WAS and selected RTTY and got a list of all the states I had CREDIT for and the call signs of those stations.  I immediately thought something was wrong as CA was blank and I know for a fact I have many CAs confirmed on RTTY in LOTW.  I then went to "Your QSOs" and did a search on RTTY QSOs - USA - WAS award - I got a long list of QSOs, of which many were from CA.  Next to each entry in a box was :

 

BASIC; 20M; RTTY; 20M RTTY

 

or something similar with the band changed to match the QSO.  Then there was a small check box and the code !M* which has a legend on the bottom that says

 

M* = QSO does not match WAS Award Account parameters

 

What about the QSO makes it NOT MATCH when it is indeed a confirmed QSO and what do I have to do to make LOTW recognize those QSOs (which LOTW says are confirmed) as counted towards my RTTY WAS?

 

Clint - W5CPT

 

 

 

When mine didn't show up I went back and looked at my log, and some info
was missing.  I added the info and uploaded them again and then they
showed up in a few minutes.

What sort of info?

If I take the logging program out of the picture entirely, create an ADIF file
with the info and invoke TrustedQSL directly, will I see any additional info
that might help debug this?

Subject: [ARRL-LOTW] Re:Excel exporting from ARRL LotW website...

Hi!

I recently submitted a DXCC update using LOTW.  I was amazed at how easy it was to claim credits and how fast the update got to me (submitted to LOTW/DXCC 12/24/08, and the DXCC response was in the mail on 12/26/08!)

I was disappointed, though that I received no printout of my updated DXCC records like when I submit a paper application.

Using the tips in this thread I was hoping to find my Band/Mode records on my merged LOTW/DXCC and create an Excel file.  All that I was able to find on the LOTW website was my country credits and the QSL that got me each country.  

What I am wondering is if there is any way to locate my band/mode totals so I can move it to an Excel file to update my records?

Thanks in advance for the help!   73, John NZ9Z
