....That's possibly because expeditions could be to IOTA's or Zones.....
LOTW is no good for that...  so if you chased one of those awards, you still
need a paper QSL

Hello all

paper cards, not instead of.'

I checked with Steve N3SL about this (he is QSL manager for about 10
callsigns worldwide) and his opinion, without doing a detailed analysis, is
that LoTW has reduced the number of paper QSL requests for 'common' DXCC
entities (e.g. GM) but that there has not been a significant drop in
requests for rarer/DXpedition paper cards.

I guess this is what we would expect...
