That's what I thought - the way you wrote it wasn't clear and I
couldn't figure out how you'd engineer that with LoTW, since LoTW is
"blind".

I see when I search for my call on eQSL, I seem to have hundreds of
"cards" waiting.

Are you saying that I can see all the other guy's QSO info before I
upload my log to eQSL?

If that's true, then I could just fabricate a QSO to match.  I can't
see the other guy's QSO info on LoTW *until* I match, so I can't troll
for QSLs the same way.  You certainly could manufacture QSLs on LoTW,
but you'd have to do it in cooperation with the other stations.

Interesting.
