Thanks to John V47JA in Saint Kitts & Nevis, I now have 99 confirmed countries in LotW. I have a QSL card from Warwick E51WL in the North Cook Islands, so that makes 100 confirmed counties – it’s just a matter of waiting for the paper QSL to be processed by the DXCC desk before the official 160m DXCC award is granted. Close enough in my book to consider 160m DXCC accomplished in 2021, which means for the first time ever, I have completed all my goals.
I’ve worked Barbados, and Argentina multiple times, with stations that have uploaded to LotW in November, so I am hoping one of those might confirm before the end of the year. In addition, I’ve made contacts with Bermuda, Bosnia, Cape Verde, Cypress, Montenegro, and Wales as well (don’t think they use LotW).
