[TVARC] LoTW Question (???)

I think the officially checked QSL (paper) cards are ONLY entered into the
DXCC total.  They do NOT get entered as QSLs (confirmed QSOs) in the LoTW
database.

Here's an answer from an amateur radio operator with more knowledge about
this matter than I process:

Bill if you showed "paper" cards tp [to] the card checker then they are now
showing up on your Dxcc record which is viewed from Lotw.  That record
shows the combined totals from paper and lotw. As I understand it they are
not electronicly [electronically] confirmed and will not show up as
confirmed in lotw. Only the dxcc record.  You will need to tell your
logging program that they are confirmed. If you want them to show up as
confirmed in Clublog. You can upload your adif file in which you indicate
they are confirmed   In my custom database i have separate confirmation
fields for lotw and paper.   Some qso's have both checked   Hope that helps
explain it
