HB9BZA's LoTW users list, originally compiled since 2005 from DX-Cluster and user submissions, now primarily leverages the official ARRL full users list released on July 29th, 2017. This resource details 228,012 calls across 340 current DXCC entities, with the latest update noted on March 2, 2026. It offers various formats, including a full list, text versions, and breakdowns by country, providing valuable insights into LoTW participation for DXers. While the ARRL's official list with "last upload" dates diminished the original list's unique utility, HB9BZA's site continues to offer statistics and user counts by country, which remain of interest. The author, HB9BZA, expresses gratitude to contributors who helped maintain the list's accuracy over many years, achieving an impressive 96.4% match with the ARRL's data before the official release. Knowing which stations are LoTW active encourages more hams to join the system, demonstrating that even rare DXCC entities like Ducie Island or Heard Island can be confirmed quickly. For instance, HB9BZA recounts a 36-minute QSL confirmation for a 3A2MW contact. The list also integrates with the RXCLUS packet radio/telnet client, enhancing DXCC award tracking by identifying LoTW participants and utilizing upload dates for alarms.

This resource provides a unique historical audio archive of 50 MHz DX contacts, documenting significant F2 and Es propagation events experienced by PA2S (formerly PA2HJS) since 1978. The collection includes recordings of beacons and two-way QSOs with stations across North America, South America, Asia, Australia, Europe, and Africa. Specific entries detail contacts with rare DX entities such as ZS6PW, VE1AVX, C5AEH, J52US, TR8CA, LU8MBL, VK8ZLX, and various Japanese stations, often noting the mode (SSB or CW) and propagation type. The archive also highlights challenging pile-up situations and frustrating near-misses during major openings. The recordings, initially in RealAudio format for solar cycles 21 and 22 and later in MP3 for cycle 23, offer a practical illustration of 6-meter band conditions over several solar cycles. The content allows hams to listen to actual signals from different continents, observing signal characteristics like typical TEP fading from 5H3RA or strong F2 backscatter from OZ1BVW. It provides a comparative perspective on propagation effectiveness between solar cycles, noting that cycle 23, while not as robust as previous cycles, still yielded interesting openings. The archive serves as a valuable educational tool for understanding real-world 50 MHz DXing and propagation phenomena.
