In LOTW there is no need to "REJECT" a QSO as it does that for you. Unless your QSO info matches the
other station's info about you, there in no confirmation. If he busts your call or you bust his, no
QSL and you never see that QSO in LOTW.

|You have the ability to "REJECT" a QSO in eQSL, which is more than LoTW
|provides. Most of the time it's due to a busted call. I have K1VV and
|K1VUT in my area. All 3 of us are contesters. In CW if you drop a Dit
|or Dah you got my callsign instead of theirs. I just "REJECT" the QSO
|as "Wrong call, NIL" and that takes care of the problem.

|
|I've using CT since Ver 5 or 6. To get an ADIF file from CT, you need
|to use the "C2A" utility (CT 2 ADIF). I've converted all my old CT
|contest logs to ADIF's and uploaded them to eQSL and signed them for
|LoTW uploads.
|
|You can find C2A on the K1EA website.
