LoTW
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. 73 Bob 9V1GO G4VGO PS-Direct is OK also, turnaround is about three days when it gets here. |
Yes Bob I am using it and have similar hit rate.

Uploaded my logs, 7400 QSO's and have 249 QSL's, sounds about average at
this point. As more folks upload the hit rate should climb. Sam |

196 from 6800 uploaded to LoTW.
Mostly DX, fairly small number of NA. Suspect low hit count might have something to do with the fact that some of the QSOs I uploaded date back to 1954 ... Don't forget to also upload to eQSL :-) -- ... Hank Hank: http://horedson.home.att.net W0RLI: http://w0rli.home.att.net "Bob 9V1GO" wrote in message ...

Dick, aa5vu Bob can answer that question for you, but since he's in a place you need a card from, and he probably spends a lot of time on the radio because people want cards from Singapore (or they just want to give Bob a signal report, but that'd be a first), I'd suggest you do the decent thing and send him a card direct, one way or the other, and include some postage for your return card. Bob shouldn't have to help pay for your QSL card collection........ 73, Jim KH2D |

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'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 ? Thierry wrote: Hi, I already see one drawback to this project.

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 ? ha ha Stef VE2 OWL |

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 |

I must point out that I am my own QSL manager and send out about 200 per week, a pain......but for guys who need 9V1 I am glad to do it. A green stamp still leaves me in the minus column but for the many who have done the same for me, I will do the same for the rest who need this country. 73 and CU on 160m from 9V1 Bob 9V1GO G4VGO |
