Re: LotW - unrecognized mode


 

I have a release of DXKeeper that when synchronizing QSOs or QSLs with LotW,
considers a QSO reported by LotW whose Mode is DATA to match a logged QSO
whose mode "counts" as RTTY for ARRL awards.

Suppose, for example, that you logged the QSO

7O1DX, 160m, JT65A, 2009-09-01, 12:34:56

So that LotW would accept this QSO, you configured TQSL to map JT65A to
DATA. However, when you direct DXKeeper to "Sync LotW QSOs" or "Sync LotW
QSLs", LotW reports the QSO

7O1DX, 160m, DATA, 2009-09-01, 12:34:56

which DXKeeper declares as "no matching QSO in Log".

This new release of DXKeeper considers the reported QSO to match the logged
QSO because the callsign, band, date, and time all match, and because JT65A
counts as RTTY towards ARRL awards and therefore matches DATA.

If you have

- logged QSOs with digital modes that LotW does not accept, and

- uploaded these QSOs to LotW by configuring TQSL to map these modes to
DATA, and

- would like to test this new release of DXKeeper,

then please send email to me at aa6yq@... from an email account

I've just started using LotW and eQSL.cc. When I uploaded 1 qso to LotW, I
got an error message that it didn't like the JT6M mode. Is there a list of
acceptable modes for LotW

Yes, in <>

and is there a way of uploading my qso without changing the mode?

You can configure TQSL to "map" a digital mode to DATA, but when you
later direct DXKeeper to synchronize, it will report that it cannot find the
QSO in your log (because the uploaded QSO has a mode of DATA but the logged
QSO will has a mode of JT65A). In the next release, I'm planning to modify
DXKeeper to consider DATA a match for any mode that counts as RTTY towards
ARRL awards.


With eQSL.cc I got a similar error, trying to upload a JT65A mode.

I defer to Rich W3ZJ on eQSL.cc matters.
