LoTW download.

Unread post by Jacques »

Hello,

This is a general question LotW is working fine.

However I have noticed for ever that when I download LoTW I occasionally get a few downloads that are in RED ?

These red contacts are in the log and updated with the X and also valid in the Lotw website . just wondering what this means .

Thank you

Please check your work flow. If the entry is made in red text, the status is not set to X. The upload might have occurred twice, from different programs?
Often, the LoTW QSO time does not exactly match the time in the logbook. However, this can only happen if RL was not used for the upload.

Helllo and doubled checked all

the status is not set to X. NO states is put as X (see photo)
if RL was not used for the upload. RL is exclusively used for upload
he LoTW QSO time does not exactly match the time in the logbook. RL and LOTW time match are identical ( see photo)
The upload might have occurred twice, from different programs? NO RL only

in any case as previously stated its no big deal just wondering why ?

Thanks 73

NO! The incoming QSL shows 0744, your log shows 0745. This means your QSO was uploaded with 0744.

HI

yes I agree with your observation, but then why does my RL show 07:45 and LoTW confirmation shows O7:45 .

also the log was NOT uploaded at 07:44 since I manually uploaded when my session is finished / ended so much later in the day ?

In any case its no big deal I can live with this quirk as it does not occur often

all the best and thanks for great software

I would like to have the problem resolved. Of course, I can't rule out the possibility of an error in RL. However, I consider that rather unlikely.
