Fastest way to get WAS is to get involved in one of the many domestic contests. The North American QSO Party (NAQP) is tailor-made for low-power work, since the rules require everyone to use 100 watts or less. Field Day is great, as is the ARRL Sweepstakes. But the NAQP is twice a year, and is only 12 hours at a whack.

You are already on LOTW, so that's great. I already have Basic, Phone, CW, Digital and 6-band WAS from Gwinnett county, and in a little more than a year, I worked Basic WAS from Floyd county using LOTW. 299 of my 300 confirmations for 6-band WAS came from LOTW. Only one, a 15m SC QSO, was on a card.

Just get into the contests and operate, upload your logs and you'd be surprised how quickly those confirmations come in. You may find WAS so easy, that you move on to 5-band WAS.

Good luck.
