[OKDXA] A LOTW Question....

[Kim Elmore]

My station log *includes* deleted entities, so those do indeed appear 
there *and* in my LoTW. My query concerns only the last two columns when 
I look at my DXCC account. For example, for 10 m I see under Total (All) 
92 while I see under Total (Current) 89. I now realize that I have 89 of 
the *current* DXCC entities, but my DXCC *total*, including any deleted 
entities, is 92. Got it!
