Mike I just Checked my Nov. SS Contacts from this year that I uploaded to ACLOG. If you check the record all the Exchange information is there. I update my records in ACLOG with LOTW confirmations in order to use ACLOG's Reporting and Search features. I have a question for you - If you make a Contact in a Contest and the Ham does not use LOTW how do you know you made a Contact with that station?

For instance, if you use the N3FJP Sweepstakes contest log, then you import that log into AC Log, where do the serial numbers land in AC Log? This brings me back to my original reply to Tom's question, which was in part, why do both? Leave the contest logs alone as independent contest records, use AC Log for regular, non-contest contacts, and use LOTW as the master collection of everything. I just don't see where the extra step of putting the other logs into AC Log accomplishes anything that is not accomplished by uploading them directly into LOTW. K5XU
