[CQ-Contest] LoTW Usage - Will you use it???

[Robert McGwier]

You can put the signed log/ certified log on the CD-ROM.
All they need then is your public key.  If I got this
wrong, somebody shout at me but I always uploaded SIGNED
logs.

Ah, that won't work unless you also send them the private key.
Which I think is a very bad idea.  I think it would be better
to send a CD with the signed log to a friend or someone else
willing to upload the data.

Also maybe ARRL would consider setting up a signing server
where the private key is kept encrypted and the owner could
upload unsigned QSO and the server would sign them using the
the private once the owner has provide their private key password.

good luck & 73
