Special characters in the LOTW password - EA6ACX - 24-03-2020

When trying to synchronize with LoTW, there was a problem in my access password. The reason was that the password contained characters that were not letters or numbers, such as (#).

This type of characters seems to be not very common and caused errors in the synchronization.

Put in contact with Jordi Quintero (EA3GCV), through TeamWiever he has managed to correct this error.

I show this in case someone else uses Swisslog and has this same type of problem.

Thanks Jordi for your work and kindness

I am having a similar problem with LOTW synch and a password error. I am running version 5.99f and my LOTW password has special chars like #*. Could you post a general fix.

Thanks

Hi,

I will release a new version this week with lots of news and important corrections (like this one). If you can't wait, you can download a beta here:

www.swisslogforwindows.com/Beta/SwisslV5.exe

Download and replace the EXE in the Swisslog folder. You will have to download and replace the latest Statistic file as well otherwise you will get an error when saving QSOs due to new changes. Go to the Download section of the website.
