Agree with all Joe. ?I was just alerting folks that they might want to check LOTW online to get the latest date if it is a station they are interested in. ?Ordinarily I would disregard this station based on the 2023 last upload date shown in DXView or JTAlert. ?Also these would never show up as an LOTW call in SpotCollector unless someone is using a long time frame to determine active LOTW stations.

This is a case of a station that makes infrequent trips to C6.He's only just gone back after being away for a couple of years.Notice the last upload for C6AJB on the LotW site was just yesterday- too soon to show in the "Users" listing (prepared on Sunday night)that Dave downloads and updates a couple times a month for DXViewand that Laurie downloads and incorporates in the JT Alert CallsignsDatabase which is updated about once a month.Any "new" users or updated LotW "last upload" dates do not get reflectedin the "users" file until Sunday night and can not be incorporated inuser applications (DXView, JT Alert, WSJTX, etc.) until then.73,??...

This is just one example. I usually use 6-9 months for what I consider an active LOTW member. ?I have found out I need to check online if a call appears that I want to work. ?I've seen several calls, where DXView or JTAlert show the last upload more than 2 years ago but when I check online the last upload was within a month or so. ?I update the LOTW file with every new release.
I know this isn't a DXLab or JTAlert issue but just a heads up to folks.
