provides a secure digital QSLing solution which is valid for
DXCC awards. When two parties upload logs, and they match to a
reasonable tolerance, your QSOs are verified and can be used to
claim awards. As this kind of data requires additional security,
LoTW is protected by certificates which are used to sign
(authenticate) data uploaded. This is generally achieved using a
companion application called Trusted QSL (TQSL) which you can
download for your PC or Mac.</p>

reporting and understanding operating patterns, expedition logs

LoTW Tools are handled in three distinct stages. Firstly, you
manage your certificates. Secondly, you can download new QSLs
from LoTW directly into Club Log. Lastly, you can sign new QSOs
and send them directly from Club Log to LoTW. You must upload
certificates before you can do anything else, and you must
download your QSLs from LoTW at least once before you can send
any QSOs to LoTW.</p>

<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:18px;word-break:normal;word-wrap:break-word">When
you upload logs to Club Log, you can choose to use Club Log to
also send those QSOs to LoTW. To do this, Club Log must have a
copy of your LoTW certificates. These certificates are encrypted
before they are stored, using an Encryption Key (you can think
of this as a password to protect your certificates so that your
LoTW certificates are unusable unless you specifically unlock
them).</p>

<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:18px;word-break:normal;word-wrap:break-word">This
process is mandated by ARRL and guarantees the integrity of the
DXCC programme, while also allowing systems like Club Log to
offer integration with LoTW.</p>

you first open the LoTW Tools in Club Log, no certificates will
be available. The simplest thing to do first is to get a TBK

that you click "Save Key to Browser" so that you will not need
to enter the Encryption Key each time you want to sign your
QSOs. You should also Save to File (recommended) or email the
key to your email address (less secure, not recommended). It is
important that you keep your Encryption Key safe, as it can be
used to unlock your LoTW certificates in Club Log. Don't share
access to your Encryption Keys with anyone who should not be
allowed to sign your QSOs and send them to LoTW.</p>

ensures this activity is efficient by knowing the last date that
you imported your matches, and only looking for new matches
since that date. You can override this behaviour if you have a
good reason to do so (but this should not normally be
necessary).</p>

<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:18px;word-break:normal;word-wrap:break-word">Secondly,
make sure you have<span class="m_-7845648328645278793Apple-converted-space"> </span><em style="box-sizing:border-box;font-style:italic">downloaded</em><span class="m_-7845648328645278793Apple-converted-space"> </span>your confirmed QSOs from
LoTW at least once (step 2, above). You can't upload anything to
LoTW until you've done this, since otherwise Club Log would have
no choice but to upload many potential duplicates of existing
QSO matches. We avoid this by ensuring your matches have been
download before the first upload can occur.</p>

<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:18px;word-break:normal;word-wrap:break-word">Now,
you're ready. On the sign QSOs page, completing the form is
quite automatic in most cases. For example, the Encryption Key
is probably already filled in (if you allow your browser to
store it or choose "Yes, I trust this computer" at least once).</p>
<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:18px;word-break:normal;word-wrap:break-word">You
can choose various options related to OQRS (Online QSL Requests)
in the "QSOs to Upload" drop-down. Unless you are an expedition
leader or QSL manager, you should not need to touch this - leave
it set to "All new QSOs not uploaded to LoTW". </p>
<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:18px;word-break:normal;word-wrap:break-word">If
you need to you can set start and end date filters on the QSOs
you want to sign. You should not generally need to use date
filters, since Club Log will automatically prevent duplicates
being sent to LoTW. It will only send QSOs to LoTW if they have
never been sent by Club Log before. This means you don't need to
remember the last date you did an upload (you can just let Club
Log take care of that for you, too).</p>

<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:18px;word-break:normal;word-wrap:break-word">When
you click "Sign QSOs", all new QSOs will be prepared and
uploaded to LoTW directly from the Club Log server. The first
time you do this might take a little while, but in general this
process will be very fast as only new QSOs are uploaded each
time.</p>

is a powerful tool. It is also a big topic, and many will find
it a little more complex than expected when they first start
using TQSL and realise how the certificates work. This is
because LoTW is secure, which always leads to a trade off in
terms of simplicity. If you are unsure about LoTW itself, i.e.
the page you have an issue with is not within Club Log (or it's
to do with TQSL) then please take a look at the ARRL help files
for LoTW. The Club Log helpdesk can't help with anything that
isn't directly related to Club Log, as we have very limited
volunteer resources. The ARRL documentation is extremely good
and plenty of excellent guides exist, including some very good
videos on YouTube that you'll find answer many common questions.
Tens of thousands of DXers just like you have succeeded, so
don't give up too easily! Using LoTW will save you time and it
really works.</p>
