[RTTY] Reason for W1AW/P Delayed LoTW Uploads

[Al Kozakiewicz]

Is there a difference?  Duplicate QSOs could result from submitting a log more than once, or by submitting multiple logs with overlapping duplicated entries.  Same result.  Both happened in NY.

What do you mean do not include duplicates?  You mean duplicate logs from the same guy or duplicate contacts?

If these states are anything like mine (NY), many of the problems are caused by the self-inflicted wounds of the host state.  In our case, the submittal  instructions did not match the ARRL's (our filenames were missing the grid square).  The ham who was responsible for transferring these to the ARRL was also operating most of the week and could not transfer the submitted logs until the week was over.  Then instructions were issued to change the filenames and resubmit.  However, all the logs, right filename and no, were, in turn, submitted to the ARRL who meanwhile was begging us not to submit duplicate QSOs.
