There have been no uploads for OK1YQ therefore it all has to be cards.

Hi Joel
I have the same impression as Bill mentioned. 160m paper QSL requires a
card
checker, however LOTW confirmation does not have the same process, no
QSO or
QSL check at all. We've seen 160m " QSO's" on Club Log and subsequent
confirmation on LOTW on plain day light.

Folks - I'm not exactly understanding the LoTW comments on this thread.
If it is referring to the LoTW screen shot totals listed by OK1RD on
his
website then that is the combined totals in his DXCC record, not the
totals
confirmed solely via LoTW so a "hack" has not necessarily occurred.
Regardless, there is convincing evidence some bogus QSL cards were
reviewed
and accepted by a DXCC card checker somewhere and then entered into his
DXCC
record!

Guys this was probably done by OK1RD to embarrass ARRL/DXCC, in
retaliation
for ARRL (correctly) removing his bogus listing over 10 years ago. He
probably found a way to hack LOTW and no human monitored the result.
I'm
sure they will correct the listing but it does raise some serious
issues
about the security of their system.
