[TVARC] LOTW Question

[George]

Hi Charles,
After reading your email, and discussing this with two other noted club members while working on antennas at The Land today, it seems as though there are two issues here.  One is whether card credits find there way into one’s LoTW account, and the other is whether QSOs that have not been uploaded to LoTW magically appear in one’s LoTW account.  I can see where credits that one has received through card checking are merged with one’s LoTW credits, but I cannot envision a path where actual contacts that one has not uploaded to LoTW would find their way into one’s LoTW account.  For me, it is a question of whether ALL of one’s CONTACTS are in LoTW or whether it is enough that all of the ENTITIES for which one has credit are in LoTW.
Am I wrong?
73,
George K2DM

This is my understanding of the program.
If you go to your LOTW account page, you will see all the DXCC credits in your account.
Unless I unknowingly did something to make this happen, the form shows both card credits and LOTW credits.
The form below shows my account as of this morning.
As you can see, I have a few new LOTW QSLs yet to be credited. I normally wait until this number gets a bit higher before I make a request to have them credited.
During the many years that I have participated in LOTW, I have had card checkers approve Cards that I received from folks who do not participate in the LOTW program.. This activity shows up in this account without any further action on my part.
As you know, ARRL does not charge to upload. They do however charge for getting them credited.
It is my understanding that the LOTW program and the DXCC program along with the other award programs work hand in hand.
