Re: [CQ-Contest] LoTW Fee Schedule just released !!!

[Jim Rhodes <k0xu@iowadsl.net>]

Personally just not having to send my precious cards through the mail to 
them would be worth the fee. $20.00 for DXCC or $11.25 for WAS. I have 
always taken my cards to a hamfest or somewhere where they can be checked 
by a person that I can see in front of me & know that my cards are safe. 
Now I can just pay the league a small fee & get the awards without leaving 
home. The cards are still for collecting. Now you can get the "credit" 
without the hassles, and the "credit" is what you need for the award 
anyway. Whether you get it by showing them the cards or through LoTW.

And in my opinion, the EQSL awards are worth just what you pay for them.
