And while the ARRL is advocating this practically non-radio event, I am still
trying to obtain a VUCC certificate. I say trying because some of my 100+
confirmations are electronic and the ARRL doesn't accept electronic submissions
for VUCC. Electronic QSLs? Yes, the ARRL doesn't accept their own LoTW
electronic QSLs for VUCC. Maybe I should shut off my radio and start making
QSOs over the Internet. Wouldn't have to worry about propagation,
interference, government allocations, or even losing the spectrum.
