[ADXA] I need a “Clublog for Dummies” book

[k5cs]

Dennis,

I believe the discrepancy you describe in ClubLog actually begins with 
ARRL and Logbook of the World.  Here is a personal case to back me up:

Last year I checked a card with one of our card checkers for a RTTY 
contact I made with T32BG in February of 1988.  In LoTW I received DXCC 
country credit but the actual contact information I uploaded to the LoTW 
online log does not show a QSL confirmation. There is a disconnect 
between the card QSL desk and the online log.  Now go to Clublog and my 
record of the contact is listed as worked, but not confirmed.  Because 
of that, I don't enjoy DXCC credit for the contact there.  To this day, 
in Clublog I have not officially worked East Kiribati...but in LoTW I 
have.  I believe Clublog doesn't give confirmed credit for a contact 
unless the confirmation shows up in the LoTW database...which in my case 
it doesn't.  The situation will be remedied as soon as the current 
DXpedition confirms my contacts.  But what happens when - hypothetically 
- I work North Korea, get a card and get it checked?  I will likely 
never get that precious contact confirmed in Clublog.  Sigh...
