I cannot fathom the process of how to add contacts to LOTW.
After an HF operating session, I usually have two or three contacts to log.
I have used the QRZ logbook function since 2010 to enter contacts, and once you register it is pretty intuitive/user friendly.
On QRZ you open the logbook, enter the contact data, one contact data set at a time, save it, then enter the data for the next contact, and you do this all online.
QRZ says they can download LOTW entries to your QRZ logbook, but since I don't have data uploaded to LOTW, QRZ can't download any thing.
I read the LOTW pages at ARRL.ORG.
I have a LOTW account, but LOTW assumes you use ADIF or Cabrillo files, assumes know how to enter data into those file formats, and upload them as a batch file to LOTW, NOT online one contact at a time like QRZ.
The click-on for ADIF on the "Getting Started" LOTW page sends you to a discussion page about updates to ADIF over the years, but, NOT a how to page.
I didn't see a click-on for Cabrillo.
What I am looking for is a tutorial or a series of tutorials on the entire process, from radio contact to completed LOTW entry.
Even just a flow chart/checklist would help.
