I’ve studied them manual, but no joy. This is what Dave would want, so I’m unhappy with myself. Problem: I entered a SSB QSO. It appears on the QSO logging window “spreadsheet” exactly as I entered it. Good. But 1) When I go to the QSL window and click “Add Requested,” nothing happens. And 2) When I go back to the QSO window and try clicking on the arrow next to the call sign I just entered, so I can tell it to upload to LoTW, I get the pop-up window that says “QSO was not uploaded to LoTW because its station callsign item is empty.” 

Clearly this confuses me, cuz I can see the callsign that I entered. It’s there.

(I have been using DXKeeper successfully for uploading FT8 contacts to LoTW. This is my first effort to do so manually.)

+ Is the QSO's "LoTW Sent" item set to 'R' ?

And 2) When I go back to the QSO window and try clicking on the arrow next to the call sign I just entered, so I can tell it to upload to LoTW, I get the pop-up window that says “QSO was not uploaded to LoTW because its station callsign item is empty.” 

+ I don't understand what "When I go back to the QSO window and try clicking on the arrow next to the call sign I just entered".  Are you referring to the QSO panel at the top of the Main window's "Log QSOs" tab? If so, to what does the "arrow next to the callsign I just entered" refer?

+ Is the Defaults tab of DXKeeper's Configuration window configured to specify a "Station Callsign" that will be recorded with each QSO?

Clearly this confuses me, cuz I can see the callsign that I entered. It’s there.

+ DXKeeper can submit QSOs to LoTW automatically, but let's hold off on that until we resolve the issues reported above>

Gents,

Many issues here I do not understand. But let me start with this: In the “Log QSOs” window, under “Auxiliary,” the field “station call” is empty, and the text is flashing blue. Same goes for the “QSO” window, where “my QTH” is flashing blue and the field is empty.

in the case of “station call,” when I move my mouse into the unpopulated field, a pop-up tells me, “the callsign you used over the air; Ctrl-double-click label ‘stn call’ to configure default.”  I’ve tried this repeatedly by pressing the control key while either left- or right-clicking the mouse.  Nothing happens and the field does not populate, nor can I type anything into it.

I have the identical problem with “myQTH” under “QSL.” The field remains empty and I cannot enter anything into it. 

I’m stuck.

+ Every logged QSO must specify your "Station Callsign" - the callsign you used over-the-air when making the QSO. If you specify a default "Station Callsign" on the Configuration window's Defaults tab, then DXKeeper will automatically use it to specify the "Station Callsign" of each new QSO you create.

+ If you have specified one or more myQTHs on the Main window's "my QTHs" tab, then each logged QSO should specify the "myQTH ID" of the myQTH from which you made the QSO. You can specify a "Default myQTH ID" in the "Log Settings" panel on the Configuration window's Log tab.

+ Rather than continue to bump into sharp objects, I suggest that you remove your blindfold by scanning the reference documentation in 

https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxkeeper/Help/index.htm

+ so that you'll understand the capabilities available to you - like the Capture window, which is optimized for logging new QSOs in real time.

+ Step-by-step instructions for frequent logging scenarios are provided here:

https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/Logging

+ I don't mean for you to stop asking questions here; you are welcome to do so. But you'll find it less frustrating to establish a mental model for how DXKeeper works, and why.
