John, In your first paragraph, when you say "not confirmed", do you mean not credited? If you have submitted QSL's to ARRL that should have been credited but don't show up as such, you should resolve this matter with the DXCC people. When I get my DXCC credit listing back after my annual submission, I check to make sure that what I submitted actually got credited. If not, I contact the DXCC desk and things are usually taken care of very quickly - excellent service from them. In most cases, there report matches what I submitted, so no problem, but it's always a good idea to check.
If the cards or LOTW credits haven't been submitted yet, then they would need to be submitted. Remember, there is not a separate submission for the Challenge award. Cards and LOTW credits submitted for DXCC are (or should be) also credited for the Challenge Award. The next time you run the DXbase DXCC Awards module, check all the bands that you think you might have unsubmitted QSL's for (remember to exclude past submissions), along with the modes. If this produces too many qso's for one submission, deselect one or more bands and submit those qso's another time (or, of course, do the entire submission at one time and pay the extra fee in excess of 120 QSL's). Incidentally, I usually have the Awards Module only select cards to be submitted, not LOTW. I do those separately online, and only submit LOTW credits if I don't have a card for that particular credit.
