On the LoTW site, if you go to Awards>Challenge as the Award to view, you
get a great matrix of entities, band, and Challenge confirmed qsos.
(unfortunately there are errors)
Unfortuantely I find no way to download this data so that I can enter it
into DXB.
I'd like to edit my DXB to reflect all these correct/recorded Challenge
credits.
I'm well over 2300 so doing this manually could be an exercize in making
mistakes.
Plus at my age...not sure I have enough time left. lol
As DXB doesn't have a 'Challenge' field, I've been entering "Challenge" into
the Special2 field but all the qso/qsls prior to my starting are empty.
And also, they may not match with DXB as....where as ARRL might have entered
a SSB for a band/mode challenge entry, maybe I actually had a CW for the
first band/mode, but it was the SSB qsl via LoTW that was recorded.
I found lots of errors/differences between my entry and ARRLs.
