You all missed my point. QSL's confirmed solely LoTW aren't checked by any person. For example, MM0ZBH QSO with WB6CTL is now QSL'd in LoTW for DXCC purposes as a 160 meter QSO at 2130Z. 73, Steve, N2IC On Mon, Jan 9, 2023 at 4:27 PM Jim Kinney wrote: > I got some checked at our local

I used to live near Granada Hills - not near an ocean. I guess he could have a remote station somewhere - but again, 1:30 PM in SoCal is a no go. I can't imagine where someone would have a big rhombic near an ocean in SoCal with much of an advantage towards Europe. Reminds me of a story - back

I recently worked WB6CJT twice on CW: 160m on 24Nov22 @ 2130Z 80m on 7Dec/22 @ 2215Z I emailed to ask if he was transmitting from CA per his QRZ.com details and he confirmed that was correct and he was using a large rhombic by the ocean. Both contacts are confirmed in LoTw as California.
