[CQ-Contest] LotW Support by ARRL Officials & Officers ...

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Here is an interesting analysis of Logbook of the World participation
by key ARRL officers and Directors done by AB5K.

It is a sad commentary to see several well-known and active amateurs
who can't even support Logbook of the World enough to upload their
own logs.  Perhaps this indicates why LotW has still not received the
resources necessary to properly promote it outside the US and integrate
awards beyond DXCC (and now WAS in part) on a timely basis.

73,

Hi all,

I find it very alarming that 66 percent of out ARRL officials do not use
LOTW.  Even the ARRL Chief Technology Officer:  Paul Rinaldo, W4RI is not
a LOTW user.  Are these folks no longer hams?  Are they too busy?  Either
way, perhaps they should not be representing our interests at the League.

Here are the details:
