Export to Logbook of the World

This guide will show you how to retrieve the LoTW certificate which QRZ Logbook requires for direct uploads to ARRL’s Logbook of the World (LoTW). This guide requires that you already have TQSL, and a valid certificate from LoTW.

Step 1: Open TrustedQSL (TQSL), and select the "Callsign Certificates" tab to display all available certificates.

Step 2: Right-click on the certificate that matches the callsign of the QRZ Logbook that you wish to enable LoTW access for and select “Save Certificate to File…”

Step 3: Browse to the location where you wish to store the certificate file and save the “CALL.p12” file. This location will be required later in the process.

Step 4: If you wish, you may enter a password, then click “OK.”

Step 5a: From the QRZ Logbook LoTW Access Setup page, select “Choose File.”

 Step 5b: Browse to the location of the saved “CALL.p12” file from Step 3. Select the “CALL.p12” file, and select “Open.”

Step 6: Enter your LoTW username and password and click “Save.”

Step 6a. You will be prompted for a certificate password. If you entered one in Step 4, enter it again here. If you did not enter a password in step 4, leave this blank.

Sending Individual Records

You can now send QSOs directly from QRZ Logbook to LoTW by selecting the checkbox of the QSO(s) you wish to send to LoTW, clicking “Actions”, then selecting “Send the selected records to LoTW.” A password box will appear where you can enter the password from Step 4, or leave it blank if you did not enter a password in Step 4. Clicking “Continue.”

Sending All New or Changed Records

You can also send ALL QSOs in your logbook directly to LoTW by using the “Export and send to LoTW” button on the “Settings” page of the QRZ Logbook. (Highlighted in red below.) This will prompt you for a password. Again, this is the password you entered in Step 4. If you did not enter a password in Step 4, leave this blank.
