Pete, I uploaded 11,000+ QSOs yesterday, and have watched the "Most recent QSLs" count climb ever since. To see your number of confirmed QSOs, log into the LoTW site, select <Your QSOs> at the top of the page, then press the <Most Recent QSLs> in the "Common Queries" column.
The beta interface is a little clunky - it does not reveal your total number of QSLs until you press the <next> page button and navigate to the last page of the display (up until that time, it displays "nn of UNKNOWN total"). Then you see the total number of confirmed QSLs. For me, that number has been climbing by a few more QSOs every couple of hours... -larry K8UT ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pete Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jim Reisert AD1C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <dx4win@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Monday, May 19, 2003 7:39 AM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] LOTW Test > At 10:11 PM 5/18/03 -0400, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: > >At Dayton, I spoke with Jack AA4LU (DXbase) about this very problem > >(Paul/Steve did not have a booth this year).
