   I agree with the above comment I have worked VP8LP three times now all I need is for him to confirm the contact via QRZ.
   But it would be nice if they used LOTW. Paul G4RUJ

   Please jupload logs to LoTW or use Oqrs.
   Film is good, but not confirm our qso with vp8eme

   Thank you for this nice clip! Loved it. Worked Bob VP8LP many times on 20m SSB.
   Great to see his antenna and shack and him while DXing.

   One suggestion if I may: the Falklands, together with St. Helena and maybe
   Mauritius are one of those places where all hams deny to confirm via LoTW (apologies
   should I be misinformed). Point being: I’m happy to donate 2-3 USD for a card and I
   love paper cards (see my own) but given the dysfunctional postal service in most
   countries it lasts up to a year and longer to get a card.

   My #1 suggestion: if you could be so nice and activate LoTW confirmation, that would
   save you time plus help tons of hams worldwide to get the Falklands confirmed for DXCC.
   If you e.g. do this via OQRS and with the request for a donation of 3 USD or more, you would
   save you time and work and would be even better off, money-wise..

   And yes, #2 suggestion: what about CW and other bands, say 15 and 40m?

   Guys, I love what you do. And thants again for the reat movie.

   73s and stay safe
