[CQ-Contest] LoTW Fee Schedule just released !!!

[Mike Gilmer - N2MG]

Well, I sure don't think the ARRL is going to "get 
rich" off the fees, and I would never fault them for 
trying to generate income.  But if I did expect 
payment, what would it amount to?  A penny or two per 
QSO for each one used for credit?  Let's see...how 
many stations are going to need *my* QSO for DXCC or 
WAS credit?  Maybe 3, maybe 30 every contest.  Stop 
the presses!

I figure that if LOTW saves me money on QSL responses, 
that's payment enough.  Besides, if it makes another 
ham happy by earning him an award for having worked a 
contest, is that not good?

But one thing comes to mind, if (big if) it turns out 
it can be determined that significant revenue *is* 
generated from contest QSOs being used for award 
credit, those that think we take up too much room in 
QST should have less to gripe about.

Not likely though ;-)
