Logbook of the World Features
In support of the American Radio Relay League’s Logbook of the World system, DXbase provides many
convenient features:
1.
The CFM field in the log allows you to indicate whether a card was received, whether an LOTW
confirmation exists, or both.
2.
The QSLS field in the log allows you to indicate whether a card was sent, an LOTW submission
was made, or both.
3.
The DXbase Wizard allows you to filter records based on the LOTW status of the CFM and QSLS
fields.
4.
Awards modules allow you to compute an award based on LOTW confirmations, QSL card
submissions, or both.

LOTW database.
6.
The Previous QSO module allows for a one button click to mark a QSO confirmed for LOTW.

In the Non DXB Import utility there is an import choice for an LoTW ADIF file. Use this option
whenever you are importing an ADIF file obtained from LoTW. DXbase will first try to find the
