[CQ-Contest] Domestic stations in CQWW

[Dick Pechie]

I have already received 2 stateside QSL request via direct mail for CT or
even Windham county. I believe Jim has some validity to his theory that
stateside stations are looking to confirm states, counties, etc.

Just a theory...

When did ARRL add the WAS award to LoTW?  Was it this year?

Contesters can be good electronic QSLers.  Maybe people are taking advantage
of
this as a short cut to ragchews and collecting cards for their WAS award.
