Creating a file for submission
The TQSL program (V 1.13 or later) provided by ARRL must be installed and running on your
computer. You must have access to the LOTW website and a valid certificate. No support can
be provided for the use or configuration of the LOTW nor TQSL.
Manual submission
From TRX-Manager, you create an adif file and convert it, using TQSL, into a certified file
(.TQ8) to be uploaded to the LOTW website. To create the ADIF file, please click the Save
, choose the ADIFformat and type the name of the file to create. The Export dialog opens
and you may have to choose some options as explained in the Importing/Exporting
section. Please see TQSL instructions to continue...
Automated submission
TRX-manager automates the process making submissions to the LOTW easier (see notes
below):
1.
Exit TQSL if it is running,
2.
Click the TQSLicon which appears in the Logbook's toolbar to open the LOTW Export
dialog (1),

take after Export (2),
4.
Type in the username (Login) and password required to log in to the LOTW WebSite (3),

Click SIGN(TQSL) : TRX-Manager deletes the previous submission files, creates a new adif
file (LOTWEXPORT.ADI) using your options and launches the TQSL software allowing
you to digitally sign your QSOs (file and data dialogs are skipped in that case),
6.
Wait until TQSL ends and click UPLOAD to upload the certified file (LOTWEXPORT.TQ8)
created by TQSL to the ARRLs' LOTW (4).
