FST4 uploads

I may have been asleep if this has come up reently,

I have made some FST4 QSOs and just tried to upload them,
This is the message I received:

Invalid MODE (FST4) on line 5
CALL: JA0HXV
TIME_ON: 110424
QSO_DATE: 20201004
MODE: FST4
BAND: 630M
FREQ: .4742
BAND_RX: 630M
FREQ_RX: .4742

Final Status: No QSOs written(8)

I assume this new mode is not yet coded into LOTW at ARRL?   What mode are folks using to
upload these contacts?

Thanks 73 Merv K9FD

Item 4 pertains to LotW.

I'm surprised that the ARRL has not released an updated Configuration
for TQSL.   I would think that adding FST4 to the main system would
involve updating a data table.

(AFAIK) As when we went through this recently for FT4, and FT8 before
that; before a mode can be added to LoTW, it must be added to the ADIF
specification, and that takes some time (review process, etc.)

Its already been added to the ADIF back in August.  Joe Taylor had
already petitioned the ADIF committee on this.   You'll find that most
(if not all) local logging programs have already been updated for the
new modes.

I suspect that DXKeeper was updated within the week the ADIF spec was
released.
