Q. How do you work KH1?
- Make sure you can copy before calling. Do not call us if you can't copy!
- Look at the split and find a clear frequency or above the pileup
- Call once on a clear frequency...Keep it short so that you can hear us.
- Make fast QSOs...we call you, just give signal report!
- Do not repeat your call unless we have your call wrong!
- We will upload QSOs often to Clublog...do not dupe QSOs, unless you are not in the log.

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.
