[Dx-qsl] update on LOTW

Wed Nov 12 18:11:01 2003

I guess I will continue to use the 'send the card, and wait hopefully
for a response', as I have uploaded 51K+ so far and have a grand total
of 451 'hits'.  Until I see where the 'award' scenario is spelled out,
i.e., if you have submitted x number for say DXCC, will any new 'hits'
be credited automatically, after 'payment' is rendered?  With so few
DX hits so far, the only cost/time saving would be for things like
WAS.  I still enjoy getting the cards.

   For the record, I have uploaded all my acty from W7LPF/DU2 and the
Portugal stint [CT1DKG/CR7DKG]. Have the HB9IBA logs to upload yet,
along with finishing a little over a year of current logs.

  73,
Joe W7LPF
