[Dx-qsl] VU7LD qsos upload to LOTW

Thu Jul 26 15:52:28 EDT 2007

Terry all the press I saw said the callsign for all of the ops was VU7LD and
they had to identify themselves as the operator. There was only one license
and only one QSL card. The QSL had one callsign - VU7LD. It did list who
the ops were that you worked at the bottom of the lable.

Bernie your example isn't quite fair. If someone logs you as W3UR/VP2V 
when you were transmitting VP2V/W3UR then they are at fault and have no 
one to blame if they don't get a match in LOTW.
In the case of VU7LD, they were sending VU7LD/VU2.... and that's what 
many of us logged. That included me because I was taught to log what 
was sent. In all cases it should be made very clear (and maybe it was 
for VU7LD) that the callsign that will be uploaded to LOTW is XXXXX and 
not XXXX/XXX. There will be lots of busted Qs in LOTW otherwise.

The
