[OKDXA] FW: LoTW Question

[Kim Elmore]

Hi Bert,

Buried on the ARRL site is a little note saying that if the DXCC 
application predates 1991, band information wasn't retained. 
Apparently submissions for DXCC and 5BDXCC were kept separate, since 
no one submitted until they had all the needed to get the award, 
unlike today where we can incremental work up to 5BDXCC as we submit 
applications to the regular DXCC. In any event, that's what I did (I 
submitted in August 1989). So, I need to re-submit those original 
contrives for bands.

Not a bog deal since, as I was going through all of that I found a 
few cards that, for some reason, I'd never submitted for DXCC, such 
as OD5 and OX. So, that'll up my count by two right there. I think 
I'll wind up with 204 +/- or so for CW (I don't chase phone as I find 
it too frustrating). Not stellar, but getting better!

73,

Kim N5OP
