Hybrid DXCC Applications (Paper QSLs and LOTW) N9XG on 11/1/16
What I ended up doing was applying for a "Mixed" DXCC through the online (NOT LoTW) application process. My first DXCC earned was 10 Meter Phone via LoTW, so Mixed was a new award. I entered the data for the paper cards in the online form and then printed it so that my card checker could verify and send in. This appears to have connected my LoTW and paper credits together through the account link. How this will play out the next time I have some cards to check I have no idea.

I have been trying to figure this out myself. According to this you can link your LoTW account to your paper "DXCC Record".

What that actually means is as clear as mud. I already have DXCC through LOTW, and am closing in on 200 (with 702 confirmed for Challenge). What I have is a handful (10, to be exact) paper cards that I would like to apply for DXCC and Challenge in LoTW, with sporadically more in the future as I acquire them. These are DX that do not use LoTW but I need them for the awards. I can't, for the life of my, find out how to do this without "applying" for another "award". And even then it still a question as to whether they will show up as LoTW credits.

Even my card checker is baffled. This should be simple. I've worked them, I have proof, I should get credit for them. Period.

ARRL, do you hear me? I am seriously thinking of giving my money to eQSL instead. This is ridiculous.
