Objective

In a club / team effort for all operators, club members successfully worked to obtain (through LoTW) a DXCC certificate for the club call NF4GA during calendar year 2011.

Process

1. Club members should identity as best they can, DX stations that confirm via LoTW and work them using NF4GA on any band / any mode.
   • Remember that you may only use YOUR PRIVILEGES as to band segments.
   • Only stations you feel will use LoTW should be worked.
     • Check https://nfarl.groups.io/g/main/files/DXCC-Current.png to see if a potential contact's country has already been confirmed through LoTW.  Once a country is confirmed, the website will show this and folks should stop working that country.
     • Make every effort to determine if that station uses LoTW.  Many of the DX cluster sites post this info for the spots posted there – e.g. on dxwatch.com use http://www.dxwatch.com/dxsd1/dxsd1.php?f=1117 to see what's on and using LoTW.
     • To see who uses LoTW, go to this web site: http://www.hb9bza.net/lotw/lotw-dx.html
   • It is not an “error” to work someone who does not use LoTW, but we don’t need to work 25 Italian stations – one good one will do.  Members may continue to work a country until it is confirmed via LoTW.  For example, ten people may actually work DL before it gets confirmed.
2. Send the standard log info via email to Dave, KD4ICT at award@nfarl.org.  He will enter it into the NF4GA logbook.  Send it in ADIF format if possible.

Our coordinator, Dave, KD4ICT, will periodically upload to LoTW and report in eNEWS and on the website a status of those countries NF4GA has confirmed.

Any mode counts so some may find PSK31 the easiest way to get those new countries.

After the award is earned, a small replica of the certificate will be presented to all club members who submitted log entries.

Questions may be referred to Dave, KD4ICT (award@nfarl.org).
