[CQ-Contest] LoTW and security

[ted demopoulos]

Wait a minute, do I understand this right?

You think the ARRL and FCC are joining together to plot against us, maybe to 
force us to reveal our Sociall Security numbers (required for updating FCC 
info now) so they can steal our identities or perhaps perform some anti-god 
experiment of some type??

Hey, although I exaggerate above, and perhaps misunderstood your message, I 
sat in on the meetings were we discussed these issues.

There is no plot. No men in black. No desire to take over the world. Just a 
bunch of guys trying to design  the best system they could - and that means 
one that strikes a balance between security and usability among other 
things.

Hey, I believe in conspiracies at least as much as the next person, but 
there isn't one here. And if you think there is, you're perhaps out to 
lunch, or maybe they REALLY are out to get you and you're feeling the 
pressure :)

And I'll say it again, I LOVE paper QSLs
