[RTTY] updating QSL-status from LOTW-report

[Dave]

DXKeeper, a free logging application, correctly synchronizes with LotW -- it
independently tracks the confirmation of each QSO via paper, eQSL.cc, and
LotW, and automatically updates its status based on information downloaded
from LotW. By default, only paper and LotW confirmations count towards
DXCC/Challenge/TopList award progress.

DXKeeper is available via http://www.qsl.net/dxkeeper/ . It's a member of
free ware DXLab Suite, which provides transceiver control, rotator control,
digital modes (PSK31/PSK63/RTTY/CW), voice keying, DX spot collection and
display, propagation forecasting and monitoring, and QSL route discovery.

Subject: [RTTY] updating QSL-status from LOTW-report


Let see if anybody has a solution for this one:

- I am looking for a solution to be able to update the QSL status of my
general log, according to the LOTW report (in adi format) I have tried
various general-logging programs, but did not manage to get anything but
duplicate entries...

The problem is not as simple as it first looks, as you have to admit a
certain number of tolerances for example:
- the frequency > in my log it is the exact frequency logged from CAT, while
in the LOTW report it is the generic beginning of the band freq.
- The UTC > may be some differences between my log and the QSL (assume the
UTC is the one from my correspondant log - one may consider beginning of the
QSO others end of the QSO...) A few addtional problems like "mode mapping"
are to be taken into account > for ex. modes like JT6M or JT44 are just
called "DATA" for LOTW...

The idea is to combine the information in the same data base while it is
currently in 3 different (general log, LOTW and BV7 qsl program )

Guess it should be possible to do something with access, but does anybody
has already studied the question ?
