Dx expeditioniers keep this list of callsigns with you when you go for the next trip.
They play this dirty LoTW - paypal game with charge back before. Now paypal not working anymore in Russia, but they are still able to cheat clicking on clublog as paid to try get free card and / or LoTW.
Here is magical list of '' smart operators '' so far.
I Did not pay attention to that for about 3 years. Actually I was always loughing that some operators inventions are unreal to get this done. But as soon us they start publishing ideas how to fuck Expeditions on forum.qrz.ru....we said Enough as this is done on purpose
Black list forever

Bula folks
We are planning to work FT4 normal all bands during the coming 2 days.
Very strong winds make it difficult to keep the vertical antennas in place, but we are fighting!
3D2RRR Rotuma Island News 27 May 2022
Bula folks
After some 50 hours the team reached 20k qsos already.
High wind and rain prevent making antennas for 80 and 160m.
Propagation: 10-12 meters - phenomenal, 15m - super, 20-17m - worse than above.
20m FT8 issue with laptop charger making noise and prevented hearing anything on 20m for some longer time but finally resolved. Changed the charger no more problems there.
We hope to start 40m and 6m today. 80 and 160 possibly tomorrow weather permitted.
We work FT8 using wsjtx ver.2.5 and always send RR73.
Planning to be active till June 5 depending on weather forecast for return voyage to Fiji.

Folks
The Team is ready to set sail from Fiji to Rotuma for about a 2-week activity as 3D2RRR. We are waiting now for a suitable weather window.
3D2EZ and 3D2SP are warming up working on CW and FT8 as SO3R (single operator 3 Radios) while other team members are making progress with final preparations. The licence and permit have been issued, LoTW already received and set.
We will run 2 x CW, 1 SSB and 5 x FT8
Important note!!
We will operate WSJT-X ver. 2.5 as FOX only.
This will be an experimental FT8 activity. We will operate 2 radios on same band (ex. 14.074 and 14.080 or 18.100 and 18.095 or 7.074 and 7.056 as FOX only.
You can see multiple streams sent on both freq, same band at the same time, but you will need to operate F&H to be able to get the answer.
Other software users will need to adjust to F&H if they want to call us and get replied.
