HD8R news:
16th November OQRS LoTW Finish
Just we are finishing with OQRS LOTW, close to 10k QSO already uploaded to LOTW.
We´ll start with Direct OQRS during upcoming days following the rule: first received, first proceesed.
Direct OQRS is a manual work where we must to check that requested QSO data match with our log, (if not, we must to double check the log looking for busted calls or similar before to mark it as NIL), to print you address label and QSL label and just after that, your QSO will be uploaded to LOTW.
I want to remember to everybody , that we arrived to home less than one week ago and this was a +100K QSO dxpedition so you must to be a little bit patient. Answering non friendly emails requesting “LOTW instant uploads” from people who have requested a Direct OQRS, slow down our work on this side.
