Recovering from crash - DXKeeper QSOs upload to LoTW error


 

开云体育

When uploading QSOs to LoTW,? previously logged QSOs recovered to DXKeeper from OneDrive log backup are uploading to LoTW without any errors.

However, New QSOs, logged since the recovery are being disabled thus:

"Disabled QSL Queue entry for 9K2GR on 2025-03-13 at 23:22:08 - station location "Williston, Florida" specified in QSO's QTHID item "w4ndx" doesn't match station location "W4NDX" selected on the QSL Configuration window's LotW tab"

I have chased this around until I am dizzy.? How do I resolve this???

When uploading QSOs to LoTW, previously logged QSOs recovered to DXKeeper from OneDrive log backup are uploading to LoTW without
any errors.

However, New QSOs, logged since the recovery are being disabled thus:

"Disabled QSL Queue entry for 9K2GR on 2025-03-13 at 23:22:08 - station location "Williston, Florida" specified in QSO's QTHID item
"w4ndx" doesn't match station location "W4NDX" selected on the QSL Configuration window's LotW tab"

I have chased this around until I am dizzy. How do I resolve this?

+ Your 9K2GR QSO specifies a "myQTH ID" of "W4NDX".

+ On the Main window's "my QTHs" tab, the "my QTH" whose "myQTH ID" is "W4NDX" specifies and LoTW "Station Location" of Williston,
Florida". That's confusing!

+ However, in the TQSL panel at the bottom of the "QSL Configuration" window's LoTW tab, you have the "station location" selector
set to "W4NDX" -- which is not the same as the "Williston, Florida" specified in the LoTW selector in your "W4NDX" myQTH.

+ You evidently have one "LoTW Station Location" named W4NDX and another named "Williston, Florida". That's confusing!

+ The confusion stems from your defining a "myQTH" whose "ID" is "WN4DX" and that species an LoTW Station Location of "Williston,
Florida".

+ A callsign is a poor choice for a "myQTH ID" because it doesn't imply a geographic location. A callsign is also a poor choice for
an "LoTW Station Location" - for the same reason. Both should specify a geographic location, like a village, city, or town name.

+ If all QSOs you make from Williston Florida are not made from the same location in that city, then I'll need to understand all of
the locations from which you make QSOs before suggesting a course of action.

+ If all QSOs you make from Williston Florida are made from the same location in that city, then I suggest that you change the ID of
your Williston Florida myQTH to "Williston", and change the name of your WN4DX LoTW "Station Location" to "Williston".

+ If you understand this and agree, then

1. backup your log (so you have a quick recovery path if you don't like the outcome)

2. in TQSL, change the name of your W4NDX "Station Location" to Williston

3. in DXKeeper,

3a. in the TQSL panel at the bottom of DXKeeper's "QSL Configuration" window's LoTW tab, click the Update button, and then select
Williston in the "Station Location" selector

3b. on the Main window's "Log QSOs" tab, filter the Log Page Display to contain all of your QSOs whose "myQTH ID" is WN4DX ; double
check this, as you'll be changing the "myQTH ID" of all of the QSOs in the "Log Page Display" to Williston

3c. on the Main window's "my QTHs" tab,

3c1. select the Entry whose myQTHID is WN4DX

3c2. change this Entry's ID to Williston

3c3. change this Entry's LoTW selector to Williston

3c4. click the Save button

3c5. make sure the Williston row in the table of myQTHs is selected

3c6. in the "Update QSOs in Log Page Display" panel, click the "Set myQTH ID" button; this will change the "my QTH ID" item of every
QSO in the Log Page Display to "Williston"

+ Now all QSOs that you log with a "myQTH ID" of Williston will be uploaded to LoTW using your Williston "Station Location".
