[Dxbase] LOTW query?

Sat Apr 2 12:07:01 EDT 2011

Thanks, Steve. I did backup my w4ra.mdb file to the "F" drive, created an
adi file per the N3XX instructions and uploaded it to ARRL thru the web
site. It was received okay and the QSOs show up from 2006-2010 okay. Now if
I can figure out how to download a file to Import into DXb I will be good to
go! Tnx to everyone for their suggestions. I hope the next DXb 20xx version
(since it will have been created long after LOTW was up and running) will
have a button or two to Click to do all this stuff automatically (I can
figure out how to rotate my antenna, I really don't need my logger to do
that). But getting my log into ADIF format and uploading it to ARRL LOTW is
a little more cumbersome and not as intuitive to me as knowing the
difference between LP and short path.
Tnx again to all.
