In order to expedite the LoTW account creation process we will often check the credentials of new LoTW users at conventions and issue a special passcode that allows them to bypass the validation process.  This can save a considerable amount of time by eliminating the need to send information through the regular mail.

Entering this passcode does not complete your Logbook of The World account.

You still need to download the TQSL program (step #1) and use TQSL to request a Call Sign Certificate (step #2).

Step #3 has been bypassed by the use of this convention passcode.

Your Call Sign Certificate request will be processed the same business day, or the next, if your request was made on a weekend or holiday.

Please review the instructions before opening a help ticket.
