[UK-CONTEST] LOTW Beta-Testing open to everyone

[Tim Makins, EI8IC]

Hi - I make no claim of any knowledge about this, but just wanted to say
that on the DX-Chat reflector, someone mentioned that this is only a test -
after 60 days they will delete all data, and you will have to upload again
once the bug-free version is finalised. HTH.

Yes, it is good news!

I prepared and sent a log over the weekend, and the website is already
showing several of my QSOs confirmed against logs uploaded by others.  If
you're going to join in, then this might save you some grief:
  a.. Truncate your log to a start date of 01-01-98, or you will get errors
when you send it in.  The process terminates if there are more than 12
errors.
  b.. Change any log entries that have PSK as the mode - it isn't accepted.
  c.. When you prepare your submission, only use the Cabrillo option if you
are working with a single-contest log - use the ADIF option if you are
working with (A COPY OF) your main log.
