Maybe I misunderstood Pete's proposal, but I thought the presumption
behind it was that QSOs verified by the contest sponsor (especially if
the sponsor was the ARRL) could be loaded into LoTW as valid QSOs for
the entrant even if the other party to the contact did not participate
in LoTW. In other words, is it any more valid that a log submitted by
F2xxx to LoTW confirms a QSO with me than a log submitted by F2xxx for
an ARRL (or CQ) contest that got forwarded to LoTW after log checking?
In the second case, F2xxx would not need to participate in LoTW ... only
I would need to. If there is a problem with that, it would seem to
imply that ARRL is more worried about cheating for DXCC than for major
contest results.
