[RSM] LOTW

Thanks for the heads up Jack!  I just checked and sure enough, HC8GR results
in new DXCC for me on 160 and 80m.   That was such a powerful station and
seemed like a fixture in contests back than. One of the regular stations you
would work on multiple bands every DX contest.  Any idea whatever happened
to them?  My last QSO with HC* was the CQWPX SSB contest in 2010. My last
with any HC* contest was 2013 when k7ST visited there.

Yeah, sometimes it frustrates me, especially when creating certificates for
portable operations, and sometimes I LOVE it! Today is one of the "I LOVE
it" days.

I was downloading LOTW confirmations into ACLog just now and caught a
glimpse of an HC8 call scroll by. What the heck? I've not worked HC8 in a
long time so I typed the call into the entry window and, sure enough, up
pops HC8GR and it's confirmed. It appears not one but TWO logs from
2009 were just uploaded to LOTW and gives me an ATNO on Top Band.

This makes up for the poor conditions for me in the CQ 160 SSB contest. :>)
