[RTTY] Re: [CQ-Contest] A little LoTW gotcha

[David Pruett <k8cc@comcast.net>]

Bill,

I did get a note from the ARRL that my certificate was going to expire.  I 
submitted the renewal according to instructions, and yet I never got a new 
certificate back.  So I'm screwed just like you and I followed all the 
procedures...
