Quoted: He confirms. BUT he wants MONEY. I have several cards from him. But you get to pay for each and every one. It is what it is. Either pay up or you don't get. And then you get the joy of having to get the cards checked by the ARRL card checker. Mine is 150 miles away. More joy. Cards are a PITA, but Eddie does NOT do LOTW. Cards only. And the reason is that he wants the MONEY. Ain't it grand? His little Vietnamese sweetie does all the card work. He is nearly blind he says and cannot see well enough to fill them out. OR do LOTW. I told my wife the same thing. If his XYL can fire up FT8 for him, and log his SSB/CW contacts, why can't she click a button to upload to LOTW? Because it's easier to make a few bucks off a card. |

Quoted: T32EU takes to the air in two days on the 13th, so you'll have adequate opportunity for Eastern Kiribati again. Good luck! Quoted: Quoted: I have quite a few countries that won't confirm. East Kiribati and Suriname are two off the top of my head that never confirm. T32EU takes to the air in two days on the 13th, so you'll have adequate opportunity for Eastern Kiribati again. Good luck! I still need Eastern Kiribati on 160 and 6 meters. Not likely to get either, but the 160 might be possible. But it is getting awful late in the season, and really way to early for 6 meter season...Probably a bust for both. |

Quoted: I just worked T32EU on 12m FT8. Now to see if I get a confirmation. Awesome! You'll definitely get a confirmation if you send PayPal via Clublog for a card (which also gets you a LOTW confirmation.) If you don't want to spend any money for a QSL, most DXpeditions upload their logs to LOTW for free after 6-12 months. |

Quoted: Belarus seems to be a tough nut to crack. No mail to there from the US right now either. I know someone from there, I just need to run into him because I dont have his phone number. Maybe he can get my card there with some way to get my card back. I still need Belarus on 6 meters. I have the other 9 bands confirmed. I did get Ukraine confirmed last 6 meter season. maybe this season... |

Quoted: I am now at 98 confirmed, sure wish those eastern european guys would enter contacts online. Been waiting on some caribbean stations for over a year to confirm ssb contacts. Are you in clublog? If so check to see in clublog, do a check to see if you are in their log, and if they do OQRS. Many can be picked up this way. Of course they will want money. Ham radio confirmations are all about the money. Also check their QRZ pages to see if QSL instructions. and get their email if it is listed, and send enquiry via email. Yes it would be nice if everyone just uploaded to LOTW for free, but many won't do anything without the money. Why? Because they can. |

I prefer to not enable the behavior. It's just radio, not life or death. |

I guess I should sign up and see if I have anything there. 99 now confirmed. |

Then you can check to see if you are in the logs of some of these guys you have worked but not confirmed. Of course they are gonna want money. |
