Maybe I don't understand something.  But the IOTA program has no

problem taking data from LotW.     The award itself can be sent

electronically. The main thing is to design the list effectively. I don't see any global problems....

USA-CA, although a significant achievement, has very few applications, but
many participants.
CQ is not investing in USA-CA. CQ spent money to add WAZ and WPX in LOTW.
CQ's other awards do not generate enough $$ to be invested into LOTW
programming.

JARL's JCC/JCG/AJA awards are well documented, not many participants from
outside of Japan.
These are Japan's flagship level awards. Only very recently has JARL added
LOTW confirmations
as acceptable for their awards.

As far as the quality of the URL I shared, it was created by one volunteer,
not CQ.

Saulius (and Nick). I copy verbatim the following from the USA-CA Rules:

1. . Unless otherwise indicated on QSL cards or in an electronic
confirmation database, the QTH printed on cards or
entered into an electronic confirmation database profile will determine
county identity.

",,,an electronic confirmation database..." would include LoTW, would it
not?

If you have any questions, email NX0X (link at bottom of Rules page):
