Re: T88CF missing from LOTW list

This question was propagated on the topband list as well. K6SRZ writes there is a note on Club Web indicating QSLing will begin after May. Also that QSL's are handled by OM3CGN's daughter who is struggling to keep up with demand. Someone else relayed that he has difficult net access so we need not expect frequent updates once he logs T88CF onto LoTW. Patience must be in order. My 160 QSL for a new one is in that queue somewhere.

LoTW doesn't have any records for T88CF according to the "find call" feature, there have been no log uploads. Maybe he INTENDS to be a LoTW user. Or a different call.

HI Art,
Robert HB9BZA updates the LoTW database and this is a compilation of
informations from many sources, including the DX-Cluster, DX bulletins,
WEB sites and files received from other LoTW users.
If you are sure that T88CF is a LoTW user please drop a line to Robert
at lotw-list@... so T88CF will be published in the next DXLAB.

I wasn't aware of that Joe but just took a look at the config.xml file
in my App Data folder and indeed the entire county list is in there with
"St. Mary's" actually spelled "Saint Marys" - ugh, it's worse than I
thought! If that's what they are using, it would indeed be very
difficult to change. What a terrible design decision, thousands of

I think Lee's intent is exactly as how Bill discovered it. That's because Lee (VE7CC, the creator of the CCUser program) permits you to run at least two separate instances of the program - they can each be independently filtered and run simultaneously. I run two sessions all day long.

Your speculation may be "spot on," but, regardless, sources (who wish to remain anonymous) indicate it'll be a cold day in July before ARRL addresses any significant county issue, whether simple spelling corrections, removal of the Virginia independent cities or using LotW for USA-CA. (Or WAZ either, for that matter!)

While it's obvious that CQ and ARRL are not technically responsible for each others' awards, when LotW came out, there were insinuations that they would also be used (eventually) for other awards besides the ones ARRL provides.

I, for one, have stopped holding my breath.

It does seem strange though that ARRL can't find time to update their
county list. How long could it take, half an hour with a coffee break in the middle? :-)

If each LotW record for a US QSO stores a "US county code" that selects a county descriptor, then yes, carefully updating the spellings in the county descriptors should be a quick job.
However, if each LotW record for a US QSO stores the full "US county name", then finding all the QSOs that require correction and correcting them might require writing a one-time program that can only run when LotW is shut down. This is complete speculation on my part...

Would you be applying the correction to the log data or just to the ADIF file uploaded to LoTW? Applying it to the log data could cause problems with other services, for example eQSL.cc has St. Mary's spelled correctly.


The correction would be applied to the US County name returned by LotW. So instead of the "LotW Sync QSLs" operation displaying a conflict like
Logged data: MD, St. Mary's

LotW data: MD, St. Marys


DXKeeper would automatically correct the LotW data to
MD, St. Mary's


which would match the logged data, and thus eliminate the need to alert the user to the conflict.

The misspellings are included in config.xml. That means they become
part of the "signed" QSO as uploaded since the county gets added as
part of the "Station Location" data.

Individual users in the effected counties could probably edit their
own "config.xml" file and update their "station location." I do
not know how that would effect the master LotW database.

In any case, I don't think that ARRL can fix the issues in the
database as that would violate the "signature" ...

The "County" mis-spellings are pale in comparison to the use of
"PQ" instead of the ADIF (and Canada Post) "QC" for Quebec.
DXKeeper complains every time I download a confirmation from a
VE2/VA2 call.

I'll arrange for DXKeeper to auto-correct this data error as well.

I have been away from DxLab for a while, so this may be an operator error.
DxK and other programs are the latest versions.
I am trying to bring my QSl's card sending uptodate.

I have a logged call which in the Log QSO tab QSL box under "sent via" shows
"B". The card for this call I know has to be sent direct so I change "B" to
"D" and save the entry.

On the QSL tab I click Add Requested and the que is populated with the call
but showing as "Buro". I go back to the Log QSO tab and the "sent via"
now shows "B"

On the "QSL Config" window's General tab, there is an "Add Requested"

Do you have the HRD Log application running??? If that application is not

When I would look up a call in DM780 it would do fine... the gateway
worked;
once the QSO was logged in DM780, the UDP gateway transferred it over to
DXKeeper... everything was fine.

The "DXLab HRD Bridge" does not convey QSOs from DM780 to DXKeeper. You
must also be running one of the DM780-to-DXLab bridges; which one?

I switched to the new version 5 of HRD and DM780....the UDP gateway will

Which application is generating the error message?

I have a user-defined slider set up to control the RIT on my Orion. Unless
I am mistaken, it was working many months ago but it no longer works. The
fundamental problem is that I cannot enter a negative decimal number as the
Lower bound in the configuration box.

The Ten Tec manual wants

*RMR<val><cr>

for main receiver RIT where <val> range is +/- 8000 Hz. Unless I am
mistaken I had the lower bound as -250 and the upper as 250. But I can no
longer enter a negative sign in the lower bound configuration box. The
slider works fine adjusting the RIT from 0 to 250 hz. My command is


'*RMR<1S4><13>

Am I making some trivial error?
