[DXBase] LoTW

Sun, 1 Jun 2003 07:21:20 -0400

Bill,
Based on our discussions with the LoTW development team, you understanding
is correct. The changes made in the LoTW software should allow any modes to
be acceptable since the user can configure their own mode mapping as part of
the setup when they install the LoTW conversion software.
So far, based on the beta reports for the LoTW testing, DXbase 2004 is right
on target for being able to handle the necessary functionality for the LoTW
process. It is the only logging software that is LoTW ready.
Regards,
Jack
