Question
Which of the following contacts may be confirmed through the Logbook of The World (LoTW)?
Answer Options
- A) Special event contacts between stations in the US
- B) Contacts between a US station and a non-US station
- C) Contacts for Worked All States credit
- D) All these choices are correct
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The Logbook of The World (LoTW) is an electronic log confirmation system provided by the ARRL (American Radio Relay League) that serves as the official mechanism for electronic credit toward major ARRL awards, such as DXCC (DX Century Club) and Worked All States (WAS). Its purpose is to verify contact data automatically, replacing the need for physical QSL cards for these awards.
LoTW is designed to confirm any valid two-way amateur contact for which both stations upload their logs to the system. This includes special event contacts, contacts between US and non-US stations for DXCC credit, and contacts for Worked All States credit. Therefore, all these choices are correct, as LoTW is the standard electronic method for confirming all types of contacts eligible for ARRL awards.
