[RTTY] W4UK - WAS totals on LoTW

[Brad Wilcox]

Sounds logical John.  Can't exactly say I tried using your method, if I had,
it could have saved me some time!

I especially like the part where "it's all done for you".  Guess what your
saying is read the instructions first - - - save a lot of time in the end.

??? This makes no sense. When I go to look at my account listings,  
all the totals are shown.

Nonsense. Go to LotW, select the Awards tab, select your WAS account  
and you will get a list of your total QSLs for each type: Basic, CW,  
Phone, RTTY, 160m, 80m, etc.etc. If you select an award, like "Basic"  
on the selection tab, select the "All Credits" button above, click on  
"Select WAS award to view", you will get a list of all the states  
confirmed, with the particular callsign of the station worked for  
that particular confirmation. (If you select "All entities" instead  
of "All Credits" you will get a list of all 50 states, showing the  
QSLs and showing blank callsign fields for the ones you still need.)  
If you click on the worked callsign (it's a link), you get all the  
details of the particular QSO that would be on the QSL card.

Absolutely no manual labor required. It's all done for you.

Hope this helps.
