Sounds like you're one of the last of the big spenders!

To this day I have not found confirmation of my QSO on LoTW?.
I sent the payment on April 12, 2016
Is the donation has been sent too late and the previous procedure does not
work, can I do something wrong?.

Did you not read the VK0EK website? Early LOTW confirmations would be sent to those who contributed BEFORE the expedition began. Like you, I waited until I had worked them on the boat on their way to Heard to send them $300. That's much more than I usually contribute to DX trips, but this was a VERY expensive one. I sent a check, and got a nice thank you note from KK6EK's XYL. She said I'll get my LOTW when Bob returns home.

I guess I will have to again make fee to confirm my QSO using the form:
https://shop.vk0ek.org/

It would be good for you to again make a contribution, increasing the size of your support. This was a VERY costly expedition.

Thank you very much for having responded to my call, and especially to 160 m
what  gave me 263 entities to 160 DXCC.

The way to say thank you is to send more money. :)

European hams got 52.5% of VK0EK QSOs, NA got 19.4%. EU got 2,372 Topband Q's, NA got 293 (I got one of them). Many NA hams who DO contribute to these trips are getting more than a bit tired of hearing EU stations complaining about DXpeditions not working them but not sending money to support the costs. Most NA hams are retired, so when we send money it is from our savings or our pensions. Here's a partial list of the guys who paid for your QSO.
