Other than membership in the only organization that supports hams
nationwide and sponsors most of the VHF contests...

Do they charge for LotW these days? Maybe I missed something.
I was just replying to the ham that sent the postal increase info for
Canada with an off-the-cuff comment that any sort of electronic logging
sure looks "better" these days than paying for postage.
I don't know what the ultimate solution is. Just a comment.
So far I have one person who e-mailed me direct asking what Canada's
rate increase was going to be (see the previous guy's e-mail, I guess)
and this reply that LotW isn't free.
Okay, mmm... whatever. Just thought it might drum up some conversation
on the "future" of logging contacts. QSL cards still rock, and make
great "wallpaper", for sure. But the costs associated with them is
kinda getting annoying to my budget, making them "less fun" than they've
been to me personally, anyway.
"Less fun" is not the direction I want my hobby to go, if ya know what I
mean! (GRIN)
