Hi folks, I'm getting ready to submit a pretty heftyDXCC application (one new award, band endorsements on 10, 15, 20 and Phone) and there are a couple of things I'm not real sure about.
I have only one entity (Aves) confirmed by LoTW that I don't have hard-cards for already, but I *do* have about 464 confirmed QSOs in the LoTW system. What would you suggest my best strategy would be for making this submission? I don't care whether I use the LoTW credits or hard cards, frankly. Here's the question. Let's say I choose to submit a hybrid application. How can I ensure that the QSOs that LoTW chooses to use are the same ones that DX Base would include for a given entity or mode? Let's say I have Slovakia confirmed on 40 by one station on LoTW and by another in hard-card. In filling out the QSO form with DX Base, how can I make sure that DX Base selects the same QSO that LoTW would select? Or am I completely mis-understanding the LoTW system? Honestly, their awards selection mechanism is arcane in the extreme, and I'm tempted to do it all hard-card and put on a note telling them to fetch Aves Island from my LoTW records manually and add it to my totals! 73 de Peter (W2IRT) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit http://www.nyctrackbook.com for details of my book Tracks of the NYC Subway
