LOTW Import

 

Perhaps this has been discussed but my searching doesn't answer this puzzle.
?
I created a new, empty database and imported a "DXCC_QSLs" adif from LOTW to it. A typical entry from that file looks like this:
?
<CALL:8>P5/4L4FN
<QSO_DATE:8>20011204
<APP_LoTW_MODEGROUP:5:S>PHONE
<APP_LoTW_MODE:5:S>PHONE
<BAND:3>20M
<DXCC:3>344
<COUNTRY:18>DPRK (NORTH KOREA)
<APP_LOTW_DELETED_ENTITY:2>No
<CREDIT_GRANTED:24>DXCC,DXCC_MODE,DXCC_BAND
<APP_LoTW_CREDIT_GRANTED:61:S>DXCC-M,DXCC-M-HR,DXCC-PH,DXCC-PH-HR,DXCC-20,DXCC-CHAL,DXCC-5B
<APP_LoTW_DXCC_APPLICATION_NR:5:S>00003
<APP_LoTW_DXCC_PROCESSED_DTG:19:S>2009-04-19 17:07:00
<eor>
?
If I look at the resulting log, the only mode that shows up is CW.? Selecting "Awards", only no mode and no band or CW give me correct totals.? I'm mystified.
?
I will confess, I have not tried to use ACL for anything but logging contacts and exporting to another program for awards tracking, QSL printing, etc, but this is messy and I would like to settle on one program.
 

Hi Wes,

Thanks for your e-mail.? The sample record you provided doesn't contain a mode tag.? Per ADIF spec, the mode field in ADIF is MODE and looks like this:

<Mode:3>SSB

More details are here:



You can typically add records to AC Log directly from LoTW by click the appropriate button under Download on AC Log's LoTW form.

Enjoy!
