Did any of you know that your LoTW certificates have to be renewed every
year? I found out the hard way last night after trying to upload my XE
RTTY log. The program continually crashed for no apparent reason, just
before I tried to sign the .adif file. After much head scratching, I
found my certificate, which I originally got on Jan 20, 2004 had
expired.

Normally, one can renew the certificate easily by selecting a menu
option, but once it has expired, that option no longer exists. You have
to apply for a new one. Too bad one does not get a warning of any kind -
at least I didn't.

So check your certs, guys, and don't get caught short like me.
