Q. What is the LoTW upload policy for early donors -- i.e, before the DXpedition begins?
A. Dateline DX Association has a policy of uploading all pre-QRV donor's QSOs to LoTW when we return from the DXpedition and are confident the logs are correct.   We expect this to be about 10 days after we QRT (it's a long boat and plane ride home).  It is our special thanks for those who support us to get there.
