Remember to count your paper QSLs

The last time I uploaded my log to Logbook of the World (LOTW), it was promptly processed and reported that I had 121 total entities confirmed. That’s dandy, but I got to thinking about how many other entities I might have confirmed that for whatever reason were not recorded in LOTW.

So, for the last couple of hours, I’ve been pawing through my QSL card collection, looking for QSLs not recorded there. I was aided in this quest by the EA6VQ DXCC spreadsheet. As it turns out, I have eight paper QSLs that are not recorded in LOTW:

• 5R8W
• 5W0OU
• ER1DA
• HB0/HB9QQ
• HI8RV
• KG4KRN
• OM2VL
• PJ7/PA2DGR

So, my total is actually 129 entities now confirmed. I feel a lot better. :)
