[Andrei Stchislenok]

Henk,

There is a web page from HB9-land (forgot the callsign) There are all the
callsigns in the world wo is using LoTW.

You (and me and all who needs) will have to beg those guys who are not in
LoTW yet to join, hihi.
Will email them - "Please Join LoTW!!!"

Good luck hunting
