I thought I would check out the WPX provision on LOTW this morning. I have a bunch of prefixes from all the contests over the years and I thought it might be cool to have the certificate. I went thro

Hi Bill, Join eQSL(AG) and other stations' AG eQSLs can be used for your WPX. You'll have to upload all your logs again and eQSL takes only ADI files, no Cabrillos (I've complained to them about that

Or it could cost $1582.20 in postage, assuming first class US mail SASE sent to each of those prefixes for a hard card. Plus figure in 1758 QSL cards, envelopes, labels, pens, hand cramps, paper cut

Interesting. LoTW has cross referenced none of my QSOs before the date that WPX was activated for everyone. It had 47 WPX matches out of nearly 3100 confirmations as of yesterday. I added some manual

Tim, ever heard of "the bureau"? Will cost nothing (at least internationally for US operators) except membership in your local society (ARRL for US). Just to add still another point of view. ;-) 73,

I guess that my original idea was that of comparing the relative value of the certificate. The two certificates that I value most are 5BWAZ and DXCC. Now 5BWAZ certificate requires only 200 confirmat

I use Global QSL for outgoing bureau QSLs. It costs $106/1000 QSLs, or about 11 cents per card. But that's the total cost. All you do is email them an ADIF file with the QSO data and they do the rest

Good point Olli... I hadn't thought about the reduced cost of the bureau. I use them (now using GlobalQSL) but don't really expect much return rate anytime soon. I mainly QSL to DX as a preemptive ne

I also use Global QSL. They are very slow at processing orders at times and not all countries use the IARU system, but otherwise it has been a great alternative. Tom WC5B Sent from my iPhone ________

Once upon a time it had something to do with "Postal Regulations". Now that USPS is a semi-private corporation, I'm not sure that excuse continues to be valid. 73, de Hans K0HB ______________________

Excellent. We all owe them thanks. But if the workload is too much, I suppose they could un-volunteer. My domestic QSL's run about 5:1 over my DX QSL's. ARRL could use the increased revenue to hire m

The original subject of this thread was actually regarding the cost of using the LOTW confirmations for WPX. Somehow it has morphed into a criticism of the sorters of the QSL bureau. Frankly I am not
