I thought QRZ was/is kind of weak re QSLs. But a few months back I did a total ADIF drop to qrz. But I don't do it all that quickly so as to cover someone from this past weekend.

I try to be courteous to all but have little sympathy for instant confirmation requests. Lotw is the gold standard and my logger N3fjp does lotw each qso right after I hit the ENTER key.

I do note there are still hams who are not lotw.  I'm focusing a lot on str key right now and those chaps while very active on the air, are not much for lotw.

These days Cort people seem to want QSLs via direct, and/or the bureau, and/or LOTW, and/or QRZ, and/or eQSL, and/or OQRS and if not more options today, then more tomorrow.

Pick the ones YOU want, but please don't pick none.  It's selfish to not QSL at all.

I QSL direct, via the bureau and LOTW.

Some of the new FT8 software loads QSOs instantly to LOTW and I have heard of people getting complaints via email if they had to wait a few hours for a confirmation.  Personally that seems over the top to me....

QRZ.com has a free awards program that includes WAS. What he probably doesn't know is that you can upload your LoTW confirmations into QRZ so you don't have to pester people who don't use QRZ logbook :) I think by using LoTW you're doing doing all you need to do...

Got an email request from a guy that I worked Saturday in the ALQ.... he wanted me to go on qrz and confirm my qso with him so he could get WAS. Didn't know that this existed or was proper. I have already uploaded to LOTW and I always return  a card with a SASE request.... thoughts? 73's Cort K4WI
