[Dx4win] More about LoTW credits

[Ken Kopp]

Thanks Jim,

I do have my private key and I understand that it is my
submitted QSL's validation for my log's acceptance into
the LoTW file in Newington.

If I were to enter an e.QSL into my log and then submit that log to
the LoTW program how would LoTW know if the QSO has been
confirmed via e.QSL?  Would LoTW care?

Or to put it another way .... are you saying that an e.QSL'd QSO
from W7XYZ in my log submission would -only- be accepted by
the LoTW program if there is already a private key associated
with W7XYZ?  If W7XYZ does -not- hold a private key would
LoTW accept a "laundered-via-my-log" e.QSL to me from him?

Thank you for your patience and help.  I'm obviously having trouble
understanding this issue.

Can't happen.  Your QSOs are signed with YOUR private key, and their 
QSOs are
signed by THEIR private key.  The private keys are issued by ARRL, and 
must be
certified via postal mail to your home address.  There is no way to 
cheat the
system in the way you describe.
