Bill,

I agree. Like you I have over 1000 prefixes confirmed on LOTW. Even if it is cheaper than QSL cards, I'm just not willing to pay that much for that award.

I am a big supporter of LOTW and have used it extensively for award
submission.  The WPX award is not one of them. I would like to use it for
the WPX but the cost is not acceptable. If I were to apply 1000 Prefixes at
$.12 per LOTW QSL, the cost is just too much. Using LOTW for some awards
just doesn't work financially, nor is sending 1,000 QSLs in for checking.
There needs to be a different method of applying for these awards that
require a lot of QSLs such as WPX.
