[CQ-Contest] Contesters and LOTW

[Bill Parry]

Shelby,

I think I partially misunderstood your point. I completely agree - it is
mystifying why I get 10 QSLs from a particular station on a particular band
and mode. I have talked it over with some of my local friends and have
decided that once I have confirmed a band/mode for a station that is it!

No mas!
