Hi all,
Sorry for the delay but I have been on vacation during a week. I have been in close contact with the LoTW developers because after the LoTW mainteinance the Swisslog synch failed to upload files. Seems that after LoTW has upgraded their software the TQ8 file generated by Swisslog gives a CRC error when decompressing. This file has been working for about 30 years but seems the new version of their compressor is giving this error now. I have achieved that they can revert this change temporarily until I can adapt Swisslog to the new requirements and release a new version. You can use the LoTW synch as usual but in order you can upload again the QSO during the LoTW off period, you have to do the following steps.
IMPORTANT: all users who have uploaded manually the QSOs from this period by using TQSL, DON'T NEED to do this! Simply execute the LoTW synch as usual. Other users follow these steps:
- Download this file: https://www.swisslogforwindows.com/Downl...TW-fix.zip
- Unzip this file and extract the LoTW fix.sql into the C:\Swisslog\Scripts folder
- Run Swisslog then go to Tools / For experts only > Execute SQL script then select this file from the Scripts folder and accept all confirmation messages.
With this operation the LOTW Status field will be set blank in all QSOs in the date range from 27th June and 5th July (included) to allow the LoTW synch function to upload again these QSOs. After executing this script go to
Tools / LoTW synchronization, press the
Synchronize LoTW and afterwards the
Start sync button.
