WE9V DXCC Status and QSO Totals

WE9V DXCC and QSO Totals

I started logging all of my QSOs on the computer starting sometime around 1993. Here are some statistics of how many Qs I've made as well as my DXCC status through the years. I upload QSLs to LoTW and eQSL often, but since I was pretty slow in answering direct and Buro QSLs, I enlisted the help of a QSL Manager, WD9DZV, for all of my paper QSL requests. He's much quicker to respond.While I answer all QSLs received, I don't sent QSL requests too often. Therefore, my worked country totals are considerably higher than my confirmed totals because I rarely send out paper requests and just wait for LoTW. Scroll down to see my annual and cumulative QSO totals. You can even see my *live* (non-Contest) QSO stream at my Clublog LiveStream

The huge jump in confirmed countries in 2009 is due to the success of ARRL's Logbook of the World (LoTW). Many DX stations are now uploading logs and these QSOs are automatically matched to yours. Confirmed totals from 2008 and prior is "paper card in hand", whereas 2009 and beyond includes "available" credits at the LOTW system. As of 31-Dec-2023, I have over 352,000 QSOs uploaded to LOTW, and have over 181,000 matching QSLs (this includes all my DX operations as well).
