Thanks for the confirmation Lawrence.  Once the dust settles after Field Day I will definitely correct that.

Thanks again!

Enjoy!

Scott,

You nailed it.  I have the Date, time & regional formatting set as English (Canada).  The associated short date format is 2020-06-19.

Changing it to English (United States) changes the associated short date format to 6/19/2020.

Thanks again for your fantastic support.

Hi Alex,

I don't have time to dig into the code now (all Field Days are crazy, but this Field Day is off the charts), but I suspect the contest software is using your Windows default date format in the API export format.

Thanks Scott, I see what you mean. The xxxx-xx-xx format originated in VHF Contest Log but I can't find a menu in there to change the date format. In AClog I have the default date format set to xxxx/xx/xx under Date Options.

I found I also don't actually have to change anything in AClog, as long as I right click on a QSO to open the edit page then hit enter to close it, it will then download properly from LoTW. I guess doing that fixes the date. Thankfully this is pretty quick as I've done it for about 300 QSOs already. I understand you will try to add some functionality to catch this during API transfer but if there is a way for me to avoid this going forward please let me know.

Cheers,
