[RTTY] LOTW

[WI8W]

I think that the reason LOTW does not have as many foreign stations 
signed up is the process they must follow.  I see it as vastly different 
that the  way we do it and if I was living overseas I probably would 
think it is more trouble than it is worth.

eQSL has a much simpler process.

I use both eQSL and LOTW but really I prefer the old fashioned paper QSL 
cards.  I really enjoy getting a really nice card in the mail. The 
recent 3B9C card really blew me away when I received it.  It also gives 
me something to show visitors to the shack.

All of my neighbors have visited the shack and are really amazed that I 
talk around the world.  As a result,  my tower and antennas are no 
problem around here.  I partially thank my paper QSL card collection for 
that.  I don't think my electronic verifications would have had much of 
a impact.
