[DXBase] LoTW Questions

2003年12月28日 00:55:14 -0600

I've obtained my certificate and I know how to create the ADIF file with DXbase
to upload the LoTW site.
During the beta testing period, I uploaded over 50k QSO's and had several
thousand QSL's. I think I understand that if I were to upload all these QSO's
again and receive all these QSL's that I would have to manually enter the QSL's
received in DXbase. Is this true?
I also think I understand the ARRL has created an ADIF reporting file that can
be downloaded with the QSL's received information to be used for logging
programs (such as DXbase) so this manual entry is not required. Is that true?
If the above two questions are true, is it better for me to wait until DXbase
2005 comes out before uploading my QSO's or to take say, 100 QSO's at a time and
send them, get the QSL's and enter them manually into DXbase 2004.
Or am I way out of the ballpark on this one?
I'm sorry if this has been covered here before but I didn't catch it if it was.
Thanks,
