DXCC and LoTW FAQ

DXCC and LoTW

  • What is Logbook of the World?-

    LoTW is a secure, central repository of logs from ham operators around the world. One of the main features is it will allow DXCC, WAS and VUCC program participants to claim credit without the need for having a QSL card in hand. 

    If, after reading the information and FAQ's on LoTW you still have unresolved questions, send an e-mail to: Lotw-help@arrl.org
