I had enough confirmed entries in LotW on March 19, 2012, to apply for DXCC Mixed. Today, with the addition of a LotW confirmation for CY9M (Saint Paul Island), I had enough CW confirmations for a new DXCC CW certificate and bumped my mixed country count up to 135.
I’m still awaiting LotW confirmation from several major DXpeditions that happened earlier this year, so my goal of 150 countries by year’s end seems possible, especially if the solar conditions improve a tad more before slipping away toward solar minimum.
Have I ever said how ridiculously easy LotW makes things?
