[Dxbase] ARRL DXCC Card submission paperwork

[Crownhaven]

"""The way the Online Application works is that the participant can 
select the cards that he or she would like to have checked by a card 
checker and, at his or her convenience, type that data into a form 
(which can be saved and retrieved at any time until submitted) and make 
an application for DXCC. When the application is finished, the 
participant will be able to print the list of cards and take the list 
and the cards (in the same order that they are entered into the form) to 
a card checker who will check the cards, note any changes and send the 
form to ARRL HQ. The card checker’s job is exactly the same as before, 
except he or she does not need to collect a payment (unless the 
participant has worked that out with the card checker), as the client 
can pay online. At ARRL HQ, DXCC staff will be able to access the file 
submitted by the client, quickly make any changes noted by the card 
checker and process the application. The Online DXCC Application will 
have rates that are half those of a traditional paper QSL application 
that is sent to ARRL HQ."""

According to what I'm reading here, the card checker sends the form to 
the ARRL. It doesn't mention anything about the card checker or the 
applicant sending cards electronically. It only says the applicant types 
the data into a form which can be saved and retrieved. It isn't very 
clear but it looks like the card checker looks at the cards and forms 
and then you fire the form off, somehow??????? Since it says "type them 
in," I don't think you are dealing with any files that must be imported.

Again, this could be explained a little more clearly.
