[Dx-qsl] sites with listings of LoTW submittees

Sat Feb 5 10:23:28 EST 2005

Bill,
It has always been possible to type in a call on the LOTW web site
to find out if a station's log has been uploaded. To me that's no different
than hearing from a DXpedition that 'the cards are in the mail'.
I don't think this promotes any more phishing than already exists.
It's just like typing your call into any other online log, where the applet 
reports
that a Q was made, but with no time or date details - you have to provide 
those.
Keep posting those received QSL's. ;-)
