How do DXpeditioners participate? Who submits the log?
While we hope everyone will use and enjoy Logbook of the World as it unfolds in the future, we realize that there will be those who do not, or cannot use it. ARRL will always accept traditional QSL cards for its awards using the same applications and methods now in place. We anticipate the nature of QSLing and associated parts of the DXing and awards hunting worlds to change a bit however. DXpeditions, although they are already experiencing changes in how they fund themselves, will find a great deal of advantage to using LoTW, and perhaps a bit of a disadvantage if they are relying on contributions to come with traditional QSL requests. We are confident that everyone will find the best way to make use of this new technology for all. Certainly the average DXer, contester, and awards hunter is going to enjoy the reduced cost of QSLing and achieving awards.
