The short answer is no.  You are going to have to do the whole postage,
envelopes, SASE (you are including SASEs right?), etc. thing like the rest
of us.  I don't know why the ARRL doesn't include VUCC in LoTW but that is
the way it is.  One suggestion Les.  Instead of asking all of these
questions here why don't you call or email the VUCC desk at ARRL?  You will
then be getting the answer straight from the horse's mouth as the saying
goes.  Same thing goes when folks ask questions about the contest rules on
the reflectors.  Luckily Sean monitors a lot of the VHF reflectors and
catches a lot of that stuff but still a quick email or call to Sean will get
you all the answers you need.  Just a thought.

Please pardon another newbie question, but here goes. 

I'm actively trying to earn VUCC on a number of bands including 6 Meters. In
the case of that band, operating for one year has netted me 141 grids using
my indoor antenna and 100 watts. Unfortunately, it's only need something
like 35 confirmations of those QSO's. The cost of gathering them has been no
small affair either, with hundreds of dollars spent already on postage,
envelopes, QSL cards, etc. 

Yesterday, I noticed that I have perhaps another 15 or so QSO's confirmed
using the EQSL service. I know that currently the league does not accept
EQSL for awards credit (nor LoTW when it comes to VUCC). But I also noticed
that EQSL now offers a service where I can have the cards printed out and
mailed to me. 

My question is this. If I opt to have those confirmed contacts printed out
and mailed to me, would they then be acceptable for VUCC credit?
