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.
