Confirmed QSOs

• A confirmed QSO means that both parties (you and the other operator) have uploaded matching logs to LoTW.

• The system checks the date, time, frequency, and mode, and if they match within certain tolerances, it confirms the QSO.

• This is what counts toward award credit (e.g., DXCC, WAS, VUCC).

So:

Confirmed = Matched and valid in LoTW = Counts for awards.

? Verified QSOs

• A verified QSO is typically one that has already been used for award credit, such as a confirmed QSO you've applied toward your DXCC or WAS certificate.

• It’s like a step beyond "confirmed" — it's confirmed and officially credited in your award application.

So:

Verified = Confirmed + Used for award credit (and accepted).
