Appears to me that if you want confirmation you pay up. I wouldn't hold my
breath waiting for free LoTW. I've heard that a lot of expeditions don't like
Clublog OQRS because they require that free QSLs via the bureau be issued. So
the only way to get tightwad Europeans and Asians* to pay up is to require it
for a QSL.
* See: "Who Pays for that New One?", QST, October 2018, pp 69-73. Quote: "And,
while only 4% of North American stations request a QSL via the bureau, European
and Asian bureau requests average 14%, and those stations do not contribute to
the funding flow."
Steps off soap box.

I am a little confused with the QSL options for the Chad/TT8 operation
that is in progress.
Most (and I say MOST) operations have 3 or more options for getting QSO
confirmation.
I'm filling "band-slots" for Chad and basically want a LOTW confirmation
(eventually).
You can donate "up-front" or pay $$ via the OQRS process. OQRS says LOTW
included with card request.
Now, if I do none of the above, will they eventually dump the logs to
LOTW? I usually see a comment in DXpediton postings that eventually you
get a LOTW confirmation. Can't find that anywhere on this one.
Thanks 73 Bill K3SV
