[Dx-qsl] VU7LD qsos upload to LOTW

Thu Jul 26 17:40:49 EDT 2007

Dave!
Upload the VU7LD QSO's again - I don't know if LoTW can see
several QSO's at the same time, probably it should not matter as
in a contest you may run several QSO's within the same minute, but
to be absolutely sure do change the time one or two minutes - the
other VU7LD/RSB QSO's etc. will be there for ever but ONLY you
can see them, and why should you look for them?
