Jeff:

How do we handle QSL requests if we (the club) sponsors a DXpedition?

Congo for example, Do we submit a OQRS as usual? Are the members of
sponsoring clubs prioritized somehow?

Btw, for those making contact with Congo, their logging software is not
feeding the ClubLog Livestream on a real time basis. So, if you don’t show
up immediately in their livestream it doesn’t mean you didn’t make
contact.  It took almost 6 hours before my QSO was uploaded to ClubLog.

73’s

AA5H, 3W9OK
