[CQ-Contest] LotW - Needs More Participation

[K3FT]

I wonder..

HOW do institutions that I transact financial business with on the Internet
(like my bank) manage to do all that stuff without a snail mail original
registration?

I seem to recall that they have me connect to their server, and by using a
SECURE 128-bit encryption system , have me supply the information they need
to get me validated to look at my personal finances.

Same with DoD!  They use some type of on-line authentication system.

Why is THAT acceptable for MORE important things while the ARRL requires
snail mail??

I dunno. Maybe I'm just not hip to the way things are done.
