[Dxbase] Summary vs. LOTW Question

[Wes N7WS]

I'm pretty much in the same boat and did the same thing.  Over the years I've 
resubmitted a few that I only had Mixed credit for, but after a couple of 
divorces, and ex-wives throwing away stuff,  some of the cards are long gone, 
but mostly nothing that I haven't worked many times since.  You are a little 
better off than I am.  I need four more :-(
