Hi,

I already see one drawback to this project. I am sure that thousands hams
working from small entities will never confirm your "most wanted" QSOs as
they are probably not connected to the Internet, but conversely, if you want
to valide the most usual contacts, american stations, and other English
spoken big DXCC (VK, G, etc) or big DX-peditions, this procedure should be
useful.

I recently updated my LoTW for both 9V1GO and G4VGO. Only 240+ hits for
7,900 QSO's for G4VGO, and thirty or so hits for 9V1GO (2K Q's uploaded).
Is anyone using this service? It makes contest QSLing easy, and saves the
direct QSL hassle if you are in a place nobody operates the lower bands
(who
QSLs at least).

Anyway, if you worked 9V1GO, your card is in the server.

PS-Direct is OK also, turnaround is about three days when it gets here.

I'm sure a lot more "QSL" managers will be found who will upload for unconnected DX,
rather than do cards. Even do a bunch of typing.... Any HF packet links still running
that these far away stations could use ?

I'm at a 10% hit rate . Of the 11700 QSOs I uploaded, I've had 1180
confirmed.

I've noticed the QSLs I got were mainly from CW and RTTY ops.

My guess is that these ops use computer logging. The SSB guys are not
? They still log by hand?

Who's old fashioned then ?

By the way, the count is increasing every day.

I've got about 48 countries confirmed.

I've yet to confirm all states: still missing DE, OR, WY
And in Canada, NF, NS, PE, SK and NWT
