And one clarification - this was my bad. I arrived at the field checking time on 11/29 inadvertently missing two QSLs needed for the DXCC 80 certificate. I had to put off field checking to the next month's wvdxc meeting.

My example - I submitted 11/29/2007 via LOTW but I didn't even get the cards to my checker until 12/29 (we meet every month at WVDXC). My date at HQ was 11/29/2007, not the week after hybrid field checking which would have been a 1/5 or whatever. So, LOTW DOES give you the advantage - LOTW first then field check. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2008 9:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: DX Chat Subject: RE: [DX-CHAT] Re: Card Checkers Don: That is not quite true. My last submittal was what they call a "Hybrid" submittal consisting of a few LOTW credits added to the main part of the submittal which is 92 QSO's that were field checked. My field checked paperwork was mailed within a couple of days of when they were field checked and when I applied for the partial LOTW credits, and I sit in the same queue that everyone else is in. That submittal was logged in on Dec 27, 2007 and is still waiting to be processed. Per their website, they are now processing applications that were logged in during the week of Dec 7, 2007 so I still have about 3 weeks to go. John Owens - N7TK -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Don" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> No difference. Everything, whether field checked or HQ checked or partial LOTW or full LOTW, gets processed along with all other submissions received at the same time. Now there is one trick to get you in sooner - it eliminates a mail delay.submit a partial LOTW submission. The minute you push the button on LOTW submit, you are in the queue with all the other paperwork(field checked) or HQ submitted (with card checking) or LOTW submits..they all get processed in order received.

Can anyone verify this by personal experience? Dave Miller W1GDQ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _____ It's Tax Time!
