Hi Dave et al

With respect, this in an LoTW problem not a GB7HQ problem. When LoTW was 
constructed, some key areas were poorly thought out - IOTA island naming 
being a key one for example.

Since 2003 when GB7HQ went 'nationwide', the printed GB7HQ QSL cards carry 
the info as the which DXCC the particular band/mode station was located in. 
The logs submitted to LoTW (by Nigel G3TXF) are carefully identified as 
well.

I'm disappointed that some recent posting seem to be keen to criticise GB7HQ 
instead of supporting our national team - many hours of effort go into the 
preparations and the actual contest. GB7HQ is a complex set-up.

On a positive note, at the 40m SSB station here we noted a big increase in 
the number of UK stations calling and working us, then moving to another 
band to work GB7HQ - thanks everyone !

More reports about GB7HQ soon....
