[RTTY] W4UK - WAS totals on LoTW

[Gert - K5WW]

ND not confirmed? Hard to believe, isn't it, Jerry?

There appears to be something fundamentally wrong with the calculation of 
the WAS totals.

Some time ago I noticed that my logbook program showed that I had all 50 
states confirmed via the LoTW, on 20 meters RTTY (only band so far). A few 
days later I was looking on the LoTW website to figure out what wasn't 
confirmed yet on the other bands. Then I saw that the LoTW totals said that 
I only had 47 confirmed on 20 RTTY!

I suspected something was wrong with my logging program; but after some 
manual checking on the LoTW it turned out that I indeed had  50 confirmed. 
They just weren't showing up in the totals.

The LoTW helpdesk guys told me to log into my account, select the WAS 
account, go to "modify account", and then save the changes (even if I didn't 
make any). Sure enough, after doing that, and bringing up the totals again, 
all 50 states were listed confirmed. I suggest you try the same; I wouldn't 
be surprised if North Dakota all of a sudden does show up.

I don't know if this "issue" has been resolved yet. I certainly haven't seen 
any announcements about it yet.

Thanks for the 85 QSOs. Award follows around the end of the year ;-)

73,
