Similarly, you'd think that the IARU HQ stations would submit their  
logs. I worked a bunch of them during the IARU contest this summer. I  
think only one or two submitted logs to LoTW.

There were even guys from my own contest club who manned an HQ  
station in Costa Rica, where I need confirmations. I worked them on  
three bands. I contacted one guy, who told me to contact another  
fellow who was handling the QSLs. His response? "Gee, we've never  
done that before."

FY5KE just posted some needed logs this weekend. I think it's  
catching on, but it sure is slow.
