[Dx-qsl] VU7LD qsos upload to LOTW

[Bernie McClenny, W3UR]

Yes the VU7LD logs have been uploaded to LOTW.  The callsign was VU7LD and
not VU7LD/VU2xxx.  The /VU2xxx was to indicate who the operator was.  This
was required by Indian authorities but the actual license was VU7LD!  So if
you don't have a match or confirmation you should check your LOTW log!  

It is very important that everyone who uses LOTW logs and uses the right
callsign.  If I were to operate from the British Virgin Islands and sign
VP2V/W3UR on the air and upload my call as W3UR/VP2V anyone who logged
VP2V/W3UR would never get credit.  If I operated as VP2V/W3UR uploaded the
log as VP2V/W3UR and someone loaded the QSO as W3UR/VP2V they would not get
credit.  Bottom line is for everyone to get the call right!

Nice to see another country (VU7) using LOTW!  Well over 300 countries are
now in LOTW.

Subject: [Dx-qsl] VU7LD qsos upload to LOTW

One of our locals reported that his VU7LD qsos got matches from the upload
earlier today.  Mine did not, I looked at the situation.  He uploaded his
log without the /VU. part and I had the /VU. as part of the call sign.  The
upload was for VU7LD only as the call sign.  Therefore there was no match.
Time for a log update/upload.
