Q: In attempting to get ready to integrate the DX4WIN capabilities with LOTW, I am curious about this: I have never submitted anything electronically to ARRL DXCC Desk, either through LOTW or otherwise. Do I understand that if I "enable" LOTW, my existing credited DXCC record will be there waiting ? i.e. has the DXCC desk transferred their paper records to the LOTW program ? Thanks in advance for any/all enlightenment ... 73 Malcolm Ringel ARS K3KZ St. Michaels, MD ----- Original Message ----- From: "J. F.
