Re: [RTTY] A little LoTW gotcha

[John Desmond <k0tg@comcast.net>]

As someone else said, they sent out a reminder about a month before they 
expire.  I got a couple at about the same time.  They send one out for 
each certificate you have.

Best to keep you email address current in LOTW.  Or use your 
callsign@arrl.net address, then when you change addresses you only need 
to change where your arrl.net address points.

73 es CU this weekend!
