A "DX" post of a different style, but still a chase for sure.
As many FFMA chaswers know, Larry N0LL/P has only kept paper logs and uses
QSL cards for grid square confirmations. This may be changing as this was
posted on Slack earlier today. I have several cards from Larry that I am
saving to send in until the end. I'm at just 24 to go, counting his and a
couple other folks that don't do any QSLing at all from their somewhat rare
grid squares.

Okay Gentlemen, concerning N0LL and N0LL/P. I am spearheading this Lotw
effort with very gracious help from K5GZR. We will get the recent
expeditions to EM07, EN01, and DN90 loaded into Lotw! Please be patient.
Larry has all of his contacts on paper logs in over 150 logbooks since
1977. I am not and do not expect Larry to enter all of these. Please be
thankful to Larry to allow me access to his computers to make this
happen, hopefully Larry will continue to digitally log his contacts from
here on out and I will help in getting them on Lotw. Old contacts should be
paper asked as Larry still enjoys that. Some old dogs get tired and have
little interest in learning new tricks, that is were you and I should step
in and try to help the community! Thanks for your patience and
understanding.
Fingers crossed here. Larry has been my only contact in EN01 and DN90 and
I have his cards.
I helped a guy get on LoTW last summer and converted his logs from a WSJTx
adif export to N3FJP so he could easily upload his not-so-rare grid travels
from his small motorhome. He is working through his SSB and CW contacts
with assistance from his wife. He, too, has many paper log books.
I deal with a couple of 100% non-tech savvy (non hams) right here in
Russellville. Sometimes it's a real challenge when they have to replace
things like their TV, vehicles and such. So far, my faculties are pretty
much solid at 75, but I know my day is coming.
