[VHFcontesting] [FFMA] KS4S in FM13 - January 2002

[Keith Morehouse]

I received a note from KS4S concerning his 2002 FM13 operation and incorrect grid upload to LoTW.
He has fixed and reloaded all the QSO's made from FM13.  So, if LoTW ever DOES award VUCC credit, those Q's will be good.  If Nyles, KS4S, is reading this - THANK YOU !

The program I use is Logic8 - all around, a very powerful bit of logging  software.  HOWEVER, what it seems to do with LoTW is take the downloaded ADIF and OVERWRITE existing "miscellaneous" data without prompting you.  Obviously, it would flag the QSO if the date or time was incorrect but "other" data doesn't seem to concern it.  That's a problem that needs to be addressed by Logic authors.

Unless it just (finally) started, LoTW doesn't do anything with grid squares.  If and when it does, people who work from a grid other than their home grid, will need to configure their logging program with that temporary grid when they upload them to LoTW.

As far as your logging program, which one is it?  I'm not familiar with any that would change your log based on a LoTW download, that wouldn't be right as it would defeat the whole purpose of LoTW.
