No, of course not. ARRL has not required signal reports for DXCC
confirmations for as long as I can remember.

They used to do that -- for their own contests, at least. In fact, I

upload their contest logs to LotW? I suppose ARRL could do it
internally for log files received by them, but you'd really like log
