I just go for the minimal amount unless it's an all-time new one and I work them everywhere and on all the modes. Then I will up the donation some. Many of them go back for a second shot and I'll work them on a new band mode. I'll re-up the donation again in that case.

The funniest thing I've done recently is sent a guy a donation after I already sent a donation and had them confirmed on lotw! Spent the money a few months back for those confirmations and just flat forgot about it. I didn't look over by paperwork first and fired off another donation.

Oh well as long as I don't do that too often Kathy doesn't care.😀  73 Jay..

$5 for first card/LOTW, rest for free?  I donated $5 in addition to card cost.

Yes.  I recently helped a paper logger for 66 years get on N3FJP/LoTW for his 6m travels in his motorhome (when his wife will let him operate).  Got him going with a /P configuration so all he needs to do is change the GS where he's located and add the /P to his CQ's.  I'll probably have to walk him through that a time or two, but it works and he uploaded over 150 contacts on his last trip to LoTW.  

He doesn't have the greatest setup, just a 100w radio and vertical antenna.  He's a big CW operator on 20 and 40 where he uses some wires when locations allow them to find attachment points.  Said he "might" log those on N3 as well since it would be set up.

Hi George, 
One thing it's always fascinated me is when I see a digital operator that is not flagged as being on LoTW. Anyone that can manage doing digital on their computer should surely be able to set up an LoTW account? I'm sure if they ask for help it would be available. Many consider that a huge honor being asked to help them.  I've been watching some of the grid activators that will not do lotw. Still what a joy to get an instant upload from working a rare grid on 6 m!

While doing the FFMA rare grid thing this Spring and early Summer, I always checked "Find Call" as well to see how serious I should chase them.  If they don't use LoTW, I put them on the "if they are in my face, I'll work them" list.  Most grids are eventually covered by a LoTW user.  Down to about 3 QSL Cards that are still hold outs, but several are planned for those grids next season.

Hi Steve,
I was helping update my Kathy's logs and noticed on Clublog he was OQRS.   She had worked him several times but never got the LoTW confirmation. Once she provided the love offering, the confirmations were waiting on her via LoTW within minutes of sending it.

Sometimes I will use the "Find Call in LoTW to see when their last upload was. If it's way after our contacts then I will then try Club log. Most of the time they are OQRS.

If some of our new members have never done OQRS or used Club log, just drop me a note and I'll be glad to help. 73 Jay/W5JAY..

If you recall, I thought I worked him on 12.  Need it for a new digital
country.  LOTW uploaded, no QSO.  Went to his page and it said "LOTW." 
I figured he didn't get my last exchange.  Then ADXA members told me to
use Club Log.  I paid my $5 and $5 contribution.  I immediately got the Q.

Thanks all for bringing me through that.

I'm sorry I won't be able to attend the meeting.  Still on
immunosuppresant.  Can't catch COVID.  I really miss the meetings.  I
hope all have a good time.

Steve, QQ
