I also gave this a try a few days ago but as of yet have not entered the
contacts from any of the VHF contests. My general activity log, which to
my surprise contained 3/4 VHF and only 1/4 HF activity, already confirms
some DXCC for 6m. Another word of caution, replace any WSJT and JT44 mode
contacts with DATA mode of operation.
I think they have a ways to go as far as reporting confirmed contacts as
far as listing confirmed DXCC or Sates or what not but it is a good beginning.
This week I will try to get most all of my VHF/UHF/Microwave contest
contacts into the system. I would think since a station with a QSO date is
fixed per the location, the contacts would count towards a WAS award even
though the information was not exchanged.
