Well, I messed up my card submission in December, so I left off my 
application for 80m DXCC, I just had endorsements. No matter, I figured, 
when it is finished, I’ll just submit an LoTW application for 80m and 
5BDXCC.

Turns out, unless you have a confirmation for 80m, you can’t apply for the 
80m award on LoTW, even if you already have 100 credits!

So, I had to wait until my J5T confirmations came in. With that done, I 
applied this morning for 80m DXCC and 5BDXCC (with the 30m endorsement), and 
it is already approved!

I only started pursuing DXCC back in 2003 when LoTW started up. I remember 
Jim Streible K4DLI telling me that it took him 30 years to get his 5BDXCC. 
Didn’t quite take me that long with LoTW.
