It's cheaper than sending for a QSL. Plus, some don't respond to QSL
requests even with SASE or SAE/IRC/$. Hey, lots of man-hours to set up and
maintain the LoTW. Nothing is free. You can still send for cards, if you
desire. Some folks really don't care about the cards. They are interested in
the "credit". It may be easier to store "credit" than boxes of cards.

Wow, that is a little more than I expected. I wonder if the BOD voted on
this? If so, they sure kept it under wraps. I guess it beats paying for the
cards and the stamps but at least then you have something to show for
it.....here all you get is "credit"
