   I know what you mean.  I've had post office employees tell me there was no   
   such thing as an IRC.  :-)

   I did the same thing a couple of years ago; took the time to create an   
   ADIF export routine for my homebrewed log, uploaded them all, 190   
   countries, about 175 of them verified on paper--and got a total of 31   
   countries verified via LotW the last time I looked. :-)

   I hope they're on the way.  I've been inactive for 2 years but wound up   
   dragging out a radio, antenna tuner, and my PSK/RTTY interface--looking   
   forward to giving it a try again!  :-)
