Amazing. All my K4M QSOs showed up on LoTW this evening, less than a week after they left the island. Just. Wow.

FYI I think "fast LoTW" is limited to donors like many of the others in recent years. I think those of us who didn't donate will get LoTW after other QSL'ing chores are done. That's fine with me, good to pay back the financial supporters with a quick confirmation. I have KH4 confirmed and am waiting for 160m conf (my only Q) only. 73 Dan

Those guys go thru a lot of work and pay a lot out of pocket expenses. Those of us who can afford it should give a little something to support them.

I donate to my favorite DX-peds each year, and this is certainly one of them. I did not donate before they left for Midway, but my LOTW QSL's are there now. A class act all the way round'.

Well I donated but no LoTW confirmation for me (yes I uploaded my logs). I have to wonder what's wrong when non-donors get a LoTW confirmation and people who contribute don't.

I don't know when you made your "donation", but from what I've been told, any clubs who donated in advance (and some of them are very large) and submitted their entire rosters to K4M were among the first to go to LotW. So, some may not have made personal donations and did not know their club had donated for them but got LotW anyway. If you donated after the DXpedition, I would expect they'll be LotWing you soon. If you donated before the DXpedition, they may have lost your call in the shuffle. I would suggest giving them some time and not add to the enormous workload of sorting out all those QSLs.

> not add to the enormous workload of sorting out the QSL's You know, if a DXpedition actually cared about reducing their enormous QSL workload, they would upload everything to LOTW right away. Many DXpeditions (and much smaller personal trips to far away places) upload to LOTW every day or right away when they get back. That's how you minimize the workoad. We all know that this this tiered thing where donors get QSL's first is not about minimizing workload, we all know it's about financing. It of course is a policy that increases workload.
