Jim. There are a number of reasons why more people don't use logbook. There's the perception that it's too complicated (mostly, IT guys have problems), and the fact that non-US hams must send a lette

I love the LoTW system. The money I save on cards and postage goes into radios and antennas. I'm not much of a contester any more, I just kind of hunt and peck vs. S&P when I do work contest stations

Some packet clusters also have LOTW indicators for stations registered with ARRL. When i first sent in my log of 2?years of QSo's I got 102 confirmed in seconds. It is not at all complicated and some

I love the LoTW. QSL bureau is in some countries misused to press hams into forced membership of their national ham radio organization. AFAIK it is here in OK and also in DL... LoTW is then the only

Hi Jeff et al, I certainly have nothing against LotW, or the folks who swear by it. It is the "coming thing" IMHO, and given time will surely render hardcopy QSLs a place atop the scrap heap of Ham r

Why not use 'em all? (LoTW, eQSL, ClubLog, hard card) Although hard QSLs have a nice physical presence, I can only say a handful of the hard cards I get are not computer generated, most also for awar

Like VE3XZ I like real cards. But, striking out for my goal of over 300 on each HF band, less 160 where I don't have enough goo nor enough years, I concluded the expense could be better directed towa

Selling the physical awards, which many people want to have, appears to be one of the main things paying for the cost of running LOTW. As long as LOTW will have bills to pay, I imagine the ARRL will
