[SFDXA] Getting ARRL/IARU WAC Awards using LoTW Confirmations

[Bill]

 From Kai KE4PT:

Thanks Bill,
More wall paper!!

Here's still more wall paper: Worked all Continents (WAC) can be earned 
using just LoTW confirmations.
Normally according to ARRL/IARU WAC application form, you can not use 
LoTW contacts to directly apply them to Worked All Continents. The 
application form specifically notes:

"Special Note: Contacts in LoTW are currently not eligible for WAC credit."
However the application form provides us with a sneaky path;  also noted 
on the form:
"You must list the callsigns of the QSOs from your DXCC (not LoTW) 
account that you want to claim."

I used this "sneaky" path to get WAC-2m-EME, and 5-band WAC awards using 
just LoTW confirmations. Since the WAC Award rules let you use 
confirmations from your DXCC account, you can:
(1) First pay the fee to apply your needed LoTW confirmations to your 
DXCC account, then,
(2) Apply for WAC award using those needed QSOs that are now in your 
DXCC account.
That's what I did, and never had to submit a paper QSL card!
(3) On the WAC application, check the box "Cards listed below can be 
found in my DXCC account."
(4) Pay all the application fees, mail the application form in, sit 
back, and await your very attractive certificate(s)!

Kindest regards.
Kai, KE4PT
