Wow.."too complex"?? Are you kidding? I am one of the most computer
illiterate people you will ever meet, & have found it VERY easy to navigate.
Like
everything else, it takes a little effort to READ about how it works.
Look, all you need to do, is, 1) get the certificate, 2) transfer your ADIF
files from your normal logging software to the tq8, then either email or
upload the tq8 files. How much easier can it get?? Kudos to the folks who run
LOTW, it is a great program.
