Confused about LotW kf5nrp on 11/3/13
Hello, I see that we have received a TQ5 file from you and processed it. The certificate was issued successfully and emailed to you. Please contact me directly (n1ta@arrl.org) and I can confirm your email address or provide instruction for obtaining the TQ6 (certificate file) from the web site. -Mike, N1TA; LoTW support
Assisted Category Questions Macromancer on 6/11/12
Question number 1: it is a very common practice for multi-transmitter stations to pass stations to other bands. This is completely legal, as you are not receiving information by non-amateur means (such as the internet) or assistance from a third-party (such as the packet cluster). So go ahead -- work 'em!

You will also hear stations during DX contests working split on 80 and (to a lesser extent now) 40 calling CQ and saying "listening [frequency]" or "listening [frequency] and this frequency". This is also okay, as they are "advertising" their RX frequency by a totally amateur means. Again, go work 'em!

Question number 2: So long as you only claim QSOs made on SSB during the contest for points, you can do whatever else you'd like in the shack, so long as you aren't soliciting contacts by non-amateur means or doing anything that violates the rules of your category. Keep in mind, however, that doing other "stuff", even things to help determine propagation, might be taking up time that could be better spent making Q's!

Hope to work you this season! Good luck in the 'tests.

Efrem, I have sent you an email in response to your message to Logbook of The World help. Some user accounts are still tabulating WPX totals. We're going to take a look at your account. Thank you for your patience! -Mike N1TA, Logbook of The World help
