I've been working the contest and many of the stations are off the even frequencies a little because of the crowding.  If someone is operating on 14.232.70 how do you log it to get credit? How about 14.272.40?  I'd like to get credit for working these guys. So close to confirmed DXCC.

Just log the actual frequency. Outside of 60m HF it's channelized so there's no "proper" frequency.

What I normally do is log it into QRZ then send it to LOTW. I have it set up to send it there. QRZ won't let you go more digits past 14.330.xx

All you need is the band, the exact frequency doesn't matter.

Thanks. Not so worried now.

From the LoTW FAQs:

What constitutes a QSO "match?"

Two submitted descriptions of a QSO match if

your QSO description specifies a callsign that matches the Callsign Certificate specified by the Station Location your QSO partner used to digitally sign the QSO
your QSO partner's QSO description specifies a callsign that matches the Callsign Certificate specified by the Station Location you used to digitally sign the QSO
both QSO descriptions specify start times within 30 minutes of each other
both QSO descriptions specify the same band
both QSO descriptions specify the same mode (an exact mode match), or must specify modes belonging to the same Mode Group
for satellite QSOs, both QSO descriptions must specify the same satellite, and a propagation mode of SAT




FWIW, I log the exact frequency (and band, of course).
