[Dx4win] FW: [DX4WIN] On-line DXCC Application is up

[N7KA at comcast.net]

03 April:  LOTW only.  105 claimed credits.  About 15 minutes from submitting application (DXCC) to being able to see changes in my band/mode totals and to print out new adjusted awards list totals.  I believe its an automatic, no human interface system.  

  

It is surprising to see old QSOs being confirmed on LOTW.  I had several from 5+ years ago that came up today that did not pop up on 01 March 2012. A few folks are going back to much old logs and inputting that old log data.  I have had a few confirmations from 20+ years ago via LOTW.   



I have some QSLs to confirm QSOs for band/entity but must go through HQ; includes a few deleted entities and 160M  QSO/QSLs.  That would rule out the On-Line system that requires field checking of QSLs, not in a rush so I will keep collecting more QSLs and let the HQ backlog decrease. 

  

I believe the 3 systems will now contribute to reduced processing times for the slower methods.  This can only be an improvement for us.  Hq needs a THANKYOU  from those of us out here.

People who are getting the 1-day turn-around are submitting LoTW-only 
applications.  It's not much more than a button press at ARRL HQ I 
imagine, because the QSOs are already "vetted".
