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

[R Johnson]

Darryl:
Are you speaking for yourself or the ARRL LoTW team using the CQ Contest List
for a forum for the League ???

After doing a TEOMA.COM  search on your callsign WA1GON, I found that "The logging
software modules are being developed as part of the Trusted QSL open-source project
headed by Darryl Wagoner, WA1GON

See  http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2001/08/02/3/ !!!

I personally consider it poor form for the ARRL, their employees or advisors
to use a Public List in this manner.

Other member associated with the development LoTW have refrained from using
Non-ARRL list to respond to LoTW questions !!!
