Sent their QSL manager an email this morning with a copy of the AllText log for the contact.  Not a big deal, but it would make their DXP a digital "Clean Sweep", even though I had confirmations on 2 bands from 12 years ago on SSB.

May not get 4 from Iran as the operator and QSL manager are having a hissy fit over the process of confirming to LoTW.  That would be an ATNO for me if it ever gets settled between them, or make contact with a new operator with better QSL management.

I have double-DXCC (or more) on 80-10 except for 30m where I need just 1 for 30m DXCC, 5 still outstanding, with one being Iran.  160m is so far away (80 needed) that I don't even consider it.

Also need just 10 more Grid Squares for FFMA, a lot due to another pretty dead 6m season and nobody roving where I need them.  2 stations I see on HF all the time, live and operate from GS's I need, but are seldom on 6m -- bummer.
