What is the criteria for confirmed? For example, I imported my log of 33k QSOs. It shows 303 countries worked (which is accurate, but very few were shown as confirmed despite them being confirmed in my last logging program.
Im not possitive but im pretty sure it is confirmed with other people on WRL website. Kinda like LOTW or QRZ they have to be on each of those and confim contact. Same here.

Yes, It seems WRL only imports the QSO but not the QSL. This is unlike QRZ that will import the QSL from LoTW. eQSL has a feature that imports QSLs from LoTW. Maybe in the future WRL will honor QSL confirmations from other Logbooks. There are many QSO/QSL out there from years back made with now silent keys that will never be ported to WRL. If one was to move to WRL 100%, then those QSLs would lost.

Funnily enough @K0WAV , I told my grandad, W1KE, about World Radio League. After he was done importing his 54,000 QSOs, we were amazed to see that almost all were confirmed!

We have a couple of different ways QSOs can be confirmed:
- (Best) - Both users log or upload the contact into WRL. This is best because by having both records, we have the highest accuracy and most details.
- QRZ/LoTW Integration → When you import contacts from QRZ/LoTW, if the contact is confirmed in QRZ/LoTW then we store the confirmation in WRL.
With regards to not storing QSLs from LoTW, I believe we should? I can check on this! @K4AZE

@N0WRL Yes we should be storing the confirmations from LOTW contacts as well as QRZ

Then something isn’t right. I did a full LOTW download and only managed 80 confirmed DXCCs and it should be 303 so it looks like there’s some work to do there. Thanks for looking into it though.
@W7IB thanks for letting us know - I’m adding this to the Report a Bug tracking so we can look into this and see if there was some bug!
