DXL abs is my go-to software of choice when it comes to satellite operations because of its seamless integration with SatPC32, and in particular the way the vfo, sat name and sat modes are automatically populated. My question being, is it possible to automatically forward QSOs logged in DX Keeper to (in my case LOG4OM) my other logging application without having to go through the export ADIF routine.
Your guidance will be greatly appreciated.

I do have a valid path….when I click on the CBA it immediately ties into the QRZ data base and the information is placed inside the box. I was just trying to find a way that it would automatically populate the address information. I seemed to remember at one time a long time ago it would do that, but I can’t seem to find the right line item check mark on config or anyother place within Keeper to make it do that….

Re: DXKeeper Turned Off While Updating from LOTW
I assume that it gets that from LoTW itself ?when you install then and only adds new ones each time you successfully upload them?. If not it would be really hard to track. A very neat feature. If you switch PCs or have to do a reinstall I assume it has to get the data again. Is this documented so, where and how it works? Is this one of the reasons that you must install the credentials o the same PC from which you make the request? ? Outlook LT Gil W0MN Hierro Candente Batir de Repente 44.08226 N 92.51265 W EN34rb ? ?

Re: sync requested to lotw, all or nothing?

sync to LOTW seems to be an all or nothing model.
?
i had a list qso's and the from "add requested",? then did UPLOAD to LoTW.? ?The entire signed block of QSO's fails because ONE of them is already in LOTW.??
?
is it possible to "sync requested to lotw, report on failed Q's but accept the balance of the others? on the list that did NOT fail " ???
?
+ If you upload your QSOs to LoTW from DXKeeper, it will never be the case that "Add Requested will populate the QSL Queue with a QSO that has already been submitted to LoTW. + If you upload a QSO to LoTW using some other application, and don't change that logged QSO's "LoTW QSL Sent" item in DXKeeper to to 'U', then? Add Requested" will add that QSO to the QSL Queue, and when you invoke "Upload to LoTW", TQSL will reject the entire batch of QSOs in the QSL Queue because of the presence of that one QSO that was already submitted. We modified TQSL to work this way in 2013 because many ops (not DXLab users) were resubmitting all of their logged QSOs each time they made a few new QSOs. So we equipped TQSL with a database to keep track of each QSO that its user has submitted to LoTW, enabling it to reject any batch that contains an already-submitted QSO. + To correctly avoid this situation, either use DXKeeper exclusively to upload your QSOs to LoTW, or if you use another application to upload some QSOs to LoTW, update those QSOs in DXKeeper to reflect the fact that they've already been submitted to LoTW. ? ? ? ? 73,

Re: CLUBLOG Never saw this before. What did I do
+ AA6YQ comments below
This list does not support HTML - including attachments or embedded screen shots. Manually enter the contents of the ClubLog error message.
If you are referring to a "Rejected" message for TO4A, that is because of the "ambiguous" prefix and that ClubLog had not updated their override (mapping) files to include this weekend's operation by VE3DZ.
It appears that the mapping has been added today so upload that QSO again.
BTW, the "Rejected" message was reported to Dave on Saturday and he has already updated the developmental code to process it properly.
+ That was necessary because the "Rejected" message had never before been encountered or documented.
