Worked All Zones (WAZ) & Logbook of the World (LOTW)

(as of 1st January 2018)

​LOTW-WAZ is now in Beta Test.  That means that very soon the CQ WAZ Award will be able to use LoTW conformations just like LoTW uses have been doing for all the other ARRL Awards and the CQ WPX Award.  There is no projected date for testing to be completed but there is a built in period in which no new errors have been encounter by the Testers before LoTW "Goes Live".

For more information please have a look at the website.... www.kc5lk.com and click the link for the for "Using LoTW with WAZ".
