| Hybrid DXCC Applications (Paper QSLs and LOTW) | N9XG | on 5/10/15 |
| I have to believe that this must be the case for many people, trying to achieve DXCC. I have countries confirmed on LOTW for which I do not have paper QSL cards. And. I have paper QSL cards for countries that I do not have confirmed on LOTW. The total confirmation count is over 100. The wording in the LOTW FAQ specifically forbids the combining of the two sets, into a hybrid application. In the same vein, neither can I submit a DXCC application with cards, and refer to a LOTW credit(s). Am I misunderstanding something, or am I effectively being locked out of DXCC, because I do not have all my credits on one system? I find it hard to believe that I cannot apply for DXCC simply because I have (1)one confirmation on LOTW, and 99 valid QSL cards. Since I am significantly more likely to receive a paper QSL card direct, than getting a confirmation on LOTW, I begin to ask myself why I am spending time with LOTW at all. |
