[Dxpeditions] Re: QSLing

[KA2AEV at aol.com]

Ron I have been talking with a cohort team  member of mine and seems 
that I have been the brunt of a very nasty  practical joke that has been 
going on
for awhile
They say that they are  going to send my contribution back to me,
but I'll believe it when I get the  cash in my hands
But indeed when I first took over the Duties of QSL manager  for Team Antigua
I did have troubles uploading our logs for some  reason
and handed it over to our Team Computer Guru who gladly did it
very  easily 
Now I'm going to be a little busy (Dark and Nasty EVIL Laugh  follows!!!!)

Thanks for the offer Ron! (BTW When did you change your  call???)

Filing fee?  Since  when does LotW have a filing fee?

Mike, I think someone has seriously  misled you.  I am not aware of ANY
"filing fees" to upload to  LotW.  The ONLY fees that I am aware of is the
charge per credit when  you apply on-line for an award -- but that miniscule
per credit cost is borne  by the station applying for the award, not the
station uploading the  log.

As per the LotW Users FAQ page [which duplicates the main one that  you can
reach from www.arrl.org]  (https://p1k.arrl.org/lotw/faq#cost):
------------------------------------------------------------------
"How  much does it cost to use Logbook of the World?"

There is no charge for  digital certificates or for submitting log data to
the LoTW system. A charge  is levied only when you apply for an award using
QSL matches obtained via  LoTW. (Note that there's a charge for awards no
matter how you apply for  them).

The specific fees charged for using Logbook data for awards vary  depending
on how many credits you buy at one time. See the Fees page for  details.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The  Fees page (https://p1k.arrl.org/lotw/fees) explicitly refers to the
charges  per award credit.  Not to uploading.

If you need any help massaging  a log into the proper format for ADIF for
LotW, let me know and I'll do  whatever I can to help you.  Least I can do in
return for all of the  great contest QSO's from V26B  that I've gotten from
you guys over the  years!
