>From ARRL LoTW site:
Mar 7, 2008: 300 Entities Confirmed in LoTW by K4DY -- Les, K4DY has confirmed
302 entities in Logbook of the World! Congratulations Les. Les says "My
current total on LoTW is 302 (with deletes)/298 (current countries). I am up to
1,914 Challenge Countries. This was as of 02/19/2008. I am importing the LoTW
Report directly into a separate Logbook program. It is Logger 32. This way I
can tell at a glance where I stand since only LoTW QSO confirmations are in the
log."
Les received his Novice ticket in 1957 at the age of 13. He relates "my call
at the time was KN4SWL. I upgraded to General about 8 months later but the FCC
changed my call to K4ZCP (why they didn't give me K4SWL I don't know --I was so
happy to have my General I didn't care, hi). I became K4DY in 1976. I started
chasing DX as a Novice and have never stopped. I still prefer CW and love low
band DXing.
I have also got hooked on 6 Meter Dxing. Just wish I had discovered the band
sooner, hi.
When LoTW was first announced I wasn't the least bit interested
in it but then I got to thinking, hey this would be a neat way to start
over from scratch and see what I could do using nothing but
LoTW confirmations.
Here are my totals as of 2/19/2008:
160: 88
80: 180
40: 220
30: 219
20: 259
17: 252
15: 238
12: 217
10: 193
6: 48
-------------
1,914 for the Challenge (302/298 for DXCC)
I am also chasing States via LoTW. I have completed 160M WAS
and need only 17 more confirmations to have a 5BWAS all via
LoTW. The hard part is finding someone in a State like North
Dakota that uses LoTW, hi (Thank goodness there is at least one-
KD4POJ, hi)
My earliest LoTW confirmation goes back to
August 14, 1958 when I was K4ZCP. I had only been General Class
about a month when I worked KP4AOO. KP4AOO is today Roger,
N4ZC who lives only about 35 miles away, hi hi. I have never
uploaded my Novice Log-KN4SWL. Someday I may obtain
the necessary certificate and upload those 500+ QSOs as well.
I doubt if I would get any hits but who knows, hi.

Thanks to Les for his comments and for using LoTW!
