Joe, I don't call that process simple.  My beef with LoTW is that it's needlessly complicated to use.  In my opinion, the ARRL spent far too much time on security and too little time on user-friendli

That's true; I did assume a reasonably good ground plane, to the extent that the unbalanced assumption would be accurate.  Still - it's a component that can be removed - at least temporarily - to see
