[CQ-Contest] R: LOTW Participation

[IK2DZN - Claudio Astorri]

Hi Pat,


I upload LOTW monthly and, yes, after each major contest.

LOTW worked for me quite well also for WAS.
I had 46 of 50 States confirmed by LOTW.

LOTW is wonderful for "DXCC Challange" chase as well.


I think we all must support and promote the LOTW concept.
The more the amateurs, the more the benefits.

Is it common practice for the contesting community to upload their logs to
LOTW?  I am always amazed that I can WAS in a week-end contest and still not
have WAS via LOTW.  I have 17k Q's uploaded and still only WAS via phone
using all the bands.  According to my logging software, I have WAS on
multiple bands and multiple modes.  Yes, I have the paper cards and could
turn them in, but I wanted to see if the LOTW concept worked.

 

So what are your thoughts - do you upload your log after every contest and
if so, what are your results?
