How do I ask for a missing QSO to be searched or corrected?

On OQRS log search you will see a button “Log Check Request” ALL logging inquiries should click this link to our form.
The form is sent to my work queue and enables me to work interactively with the log to find the issue, this is something emails cannot do!

It is for MISSING or INCORRECT QSOs ONLY” Before making any inquiry check the Last QSO date and time in the log. 

Please do NOT send emails or screen shots unless asked! (Emails will be deleted without reply) For FT modes our teams will send me the ALL.TXT files after the DXpedition has ended.
If you are not in log. It is always advised that you try again for that band slot. Thank you.

The QSL card for the Lord Howe Island DXpedition by Jeff, VK2/W7BRS has now been designed and will soon be in the print room. Thank you to Max ON5UR for the design.
QSL cards are expected to be posted at the end of September.  VK2/W7BRS OQRS is open:

VP6WR Pitcairn Island DXpedition will be operated by Bill, G0VDE during September 2024 QSL Via M0URX
“I’m planning to travel to VP6, Pitcairn Island in the Pacific, and be active between approximately 5th to 15th September 2024. 
I will initially be travelling to Tahiti on the 31st August, stopping there for a couple of days and then travelling on Air Tahiti to Mangareva Island (Gambier) on the 3rd September. I then take the Pitcairn Island’s boat – the ‘Silver Supporter’ – for the around 30 hour trip to Pitcairn.
The return trip means I arrive back on Mangareva on 17th September but as the next flight back to Tahiti is on the following Saturday 21st, I’ll be staying there for four days and plan to activate Mangareva as FO/G0VDE QSL Via M0URX
I should return to the UK on the 24th September.”

I am still aware that OQRS is unable to upload to LoTW for the log updates that have been sent to me. I am keeping up to date with the ARRL and wish them well in getting systems back up and running. Here is the latest update from ARRL

ARRL Systems Service Disruption – Updated 6/4/2024

On or around May 12, 2024, ARRL was the victim of a sophisticated network attack by a malicious international cyber group. ARRL immediately involved the FBI and engaged with third party experts to investigate.
This serious incident was extensive and categorized by the FBI as “unique,” compromising network devices, servers, cloud-based systems, and PCs.
ARRL management quickly established an incident response team. This has led to an extensive effort to contain and remediate the networks, restore servers, and staff are beginning the testing of applications and interfaces to ensure proper operation.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as our staff continue to work through this with an outstanding team of experts to restore full functionality to our systems and services.
We will continue to update members as advised and to the extent we are able.

Since the TX5S mailing was posted on May 13th the next phase of envelopes were labelled ready for the J38R Grenada and H40WA Temotu Province QSL mailings. There was a short wait for customs authority to release our QSL parcels, then for the last 10 days work on preparing for the dispatch, we promised an end of May deadline and I made every effort to meet this working many hours. The mailing will leave here at 16:00z on Tuesday 28th May to get to Heathrow International Distribution Centre for onward flights.

In preparation the mail is country presorted and bagged and labelled for arrivals at the recipient mail centre. Also posted are TX5S, H44WA, 5Z4VJ and all recent OQRS and direct QSL requests.
