W1AW/Portable 50 States Confirmed!

I was a bit surprised to find two QSLs arrived this morning at about 5 AM in LotW confirming contacts with W1AW/1 from Maine.  This was the final state that I need for WAS W1AW/Portable.

Oddly enough, despite the LotW confirmation, the ARRL Centennial QSO Party Leader Board still says Maine QSOs are “Waiting for Upload”.  Must be a batch operation that hasn’t been updated yet.

From the ARRL Centennial QSO Party Detail page (Emphasis added):

Awards

All awards may be obtained by anyone who qualifies.  There will be application forms that may be printed-out, filled-in and mailed to HQ, and there will be online application forms. 

  • Worked all States with W1AW: Work each of the 50 states with QSOs with W1AW operating portable.  W1AW/7 in Arizona counts for Arizona; W1AW/2 in New Jersey counts for New Jersey, etc.  W1ØØAW in Connecticut does NOT count for Connecticut. Connecticut credit is given only for working W1AW/1 in Connecticut.  A W1AW WAS certificate and a plaque will be available (pricing coming soon).
