I received a note from KS4S concerning his 2002 FM13 operation and incorrect
grid upload to LoTW.
He has fixed and reloaded all the QSO's made from FM13. So, if LoTW ever DOES
award VUCC credit, those Q's will be good. If Nyles, KS4S, is reading this -
THANK YOU !
The program I use is Logic8 - all around, a very powerful bit of logging
software. HOWEVER, what it seems to do with LoTW is take the downloaded ADIF
and OVERWRITE existing "miscellaneous" data without prompting you. Obviously,
it would flag the QSO if the date or time was incorrect but "other" data
doesn't seem to concern it. That's a problem that needs to be addressed by
Logic authors.

Unless it just (finally) started, LoTW doesn't do anything with grid squares.
If and when it does, people who work from a grid other than their home grid,
will need to configure their logging program with that temporary grid when they
upload them to LoTW.
As far as your logging program, which one is it? I'm not familiar with any
that would change your log based on a LoTW download, that wouldn't be right as
it would defeat the whole purpose of LoTW.
