Ron-
I don't see how LOGic could download the status of awards already achieved 
from the LOTW site but if you maintained LOGic throughout all of your DXCC 
submissions to the ARRL, you don't need it.
First, all cards already submitted to the ARRL for DXCC awards and 
endorsements have to be noted with DXCCSUB: or a substitute in LOGic's 
COMMENTS. This happened automatically in LOGic if you previously used 
LOGic to generate your awards lists.
Next you may have cards that have not been submitted, so not commented as 
DXCCSUB: but those will be marked as QSLr = F automatically by LOGic if 
you checked them in.
Finally in version 7, you can automatically download all of your LOTW QSLs 
which will automatically mark those cards as LOTWr = F.
Run LOGic's DXCC awards progress report for all modes but one at a time for 
each band. That produces a list of all Worked, Submitted and Fulfilled 
entities for that band (run 160 through 6 for the Challenge). Then pull 
"F" cards from your collection since the "S" cards were already at the 
ARRL. The only problem that I found is that QSL cards that I have and 
LOTWr = F log entries will be marked in the report as "F." Until I 
realized that, I spent time looking in my stack for cards that I had never 
received.
I don't know the starting date - think it was in the early 1990s - but if 
the ARRL doesn't have your history of submissions in their computer, you'll 
have to resend all previously submitted cards too.
