Topband: TT8XX QSL Help

[Wes Stewart]

 Appears to me that if you want confirmation you pay up.  I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for free LoTW.  I've heard that a lot of expeditions don't like Clublog OQRS because they require that free QSLs via the bureau be issued. So the only way to get tightwad Europeans and Asians* to pay up is to require it for a QSL.
* See: "Who Pays for that New One?", QST, October 2018, pp 69-73.  Quote: "And, while only 4% of North American stations request a QSL via the bureau, European and Asian bureau requests average 14%, and those stations do not contribute to the funding flow."
Steps off soap box.

 I am a little confused with the QSL options for the Chad/TT8 operation 
that is in progress.

Most (and I say MOST) operations have 3 or more options for getting QSO 
confirmation.

I'm filling "band-slots" for Chad and basically want a LOTW confirmation 
(eventually).

You can donate "up-front" or pay $$ via the OQRS process. OQRS says LOTW 
included with card request.

Now, if I do none of the above, will they eventually dump the logs to 
LOTW? I usually see a comment in DXpediton postings that eventually you 
get a LOTW confirmation. Can't find that anywhere on this one.

Thanks 73 Bill K3SV
