[Dxbase] LoTW discrepancies

Tue Jul 6 20:00:47 EDT 2010

I know I messed up some contacts causing my total to be off as far as LOTW goes.. Did you look at the errors and see if they can be corrected in DXB/ You cant do anything with LOTW other than correct a mistake mark it as not uploaded to LoTW the up load that contact again.. That will make the contact good as far as jiving with the other stations log but it adds to the qso number which at first can be confusing trying to figure out whats happening.. I look at the errors from LoTW and correct them in DxB and ignore the numbers reported by LoTW :).. Looking again at your stats you dont have any errors but you have warnings? Prefix maybe ?

Hello, 
I'm trying to determine why the LoTW stats (LoTW QSLs per ARRL) 
don't match the LoTW stats on DXB2006. I just downloaded my most recent 
QSLs from LoTW (QSLs = 1358). When I downloaded to DXB I get the following: 
Records read: 1358 
Records loaded: 1113 
Ignored: 0 
Errors: 0 
Warnings: 21 
The difference between the records read and loaded is 245. 
When I run the DXB report on QSLs from LoTW I get 1332. Is there an 
explanation for these differences?
