Re: Verified vs Confirmed on LoTW

+ AA6YQ comments below
The problem I am trying to solve is to make QSO representing verified DXCC credits?
have a "V" QSL or LOTW received status rather than the incorrect "C" that I now see?
for a number of QSO.
?
The QSL/LOTW received status is shown in the mode/band matrix in DXView and in the?
QSL/Online QSL sections in DXKeeper.
?
Thank you for the tip about Compare. When I click it I get a list of 51 QSO.?
?
For years I have been relying on Ctrl-clicking the Sync LoTW QSLs button after?
applying for DXCC credits. From what I have seen, the QSO representing credited?
DXCC award points have then switched from C to V. Now, with the "problem QSO",?
this does not happen. They stay C. In the LOTW web interface, these QSO look like?
card QSL when opened in the DXCC challenge credit tab but like a LOTW QSL when?
opened in the QSO or Application tabs. This must simply be a LOTW bug.?
?
Using the Credits function in DXKeeper's?Check progress tab I was able to repair my situation.
Since the problem QSO credits only has a date and a mode, they were not automatically linked?
to QSO but I could do this manually.
?
Now the question is - if I Ctrl-click the Sync LOTW QSL button next time I apply for credits, will the?
status of these QSO be reverted to C?
+ I asked Bj?rn to invoke "Update from LoTW" on one of his QSOs that LoTW is shown in his online DXCC status as "DXCC credit granted", and then send me the resulting ADIF file. That file shows that DXCC Credit has not been granted.
+ This is hard evidence of a breakdown in the interface between the the ARRL's DXCC system and LoTW - probably caused by whatever was done to salvage the DXCC system after last May's "ARRL system disruption". I can't report this because the ARRL CEO has banned me from the ARRL-LoTW online group for no reason other than my public opposition to his public plan to redesign LoTW 2.0 from scratch - a project that was subsequently cancelled as unaffordable. Thus someone else will have to explain this to the ARRL. + Anyone else encountering discrepancies between DXCC credits reported in their DXCC account and DXCC credits reported by LoTW should assume the same root cause. ? ? ? ?73, ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Dave, AA6YQ
