[EIDXA] Early LoTW question

[Richard Heinrich]

Jim,

This has been a "hot topic" with all the DX-pedition activity.

As I understand it, if you want an early upload of LoTW you would have to
make an individual donation.  As I think you can appreciate, it is hard to
get a club contribution and then parse out all the member calls.  Just
imagine even if our Secretary Treasurer took the total club donation and
divided it up into the appropriate "member increments" the level of work
and submission e-mails that would be required.  Now multiply that for the
DX-pedition QSL manager having to do the same thing!  Difficult at best.

There is an alternative - OQRS.  Here you can make the individual donation
- usually about $5.  And you get a card and LoTW (generally).  My personal
experience with OQRS is that the LoTW shows up well ahead of the mailed
card.

I think this would be a great question for our speaker at the meeting on
the 24th!

Rick
