I meant to send this message to the club reflector, but instead I sent 
it only to Dick.  Here's a resend for everyone's benefit.

In my reading of the Monk's web page on QRZ.com, it doesn't look like he 
uses LotW.  You could QSL via his manager SV1RP as an alternative to 
ClubLog.  But remember that the process will take longer and be riskier 
because of the mail thieves.

Only the SV2RSG/A call is acceptable to ClubLog's OQRS.  Filing a 
request by using just SV2RSG won't work.

I made an extra five euro donation in addition to the OQRS fee.  The 
monastery can probably use the extra money.
