[RTTY] A little LoTW gotcha

[Gert E. Janssens]

Maybe that's what happens if you don't provide your email address?

All of my certificates have been renewed already, most of them in September 
of last year.

For every certificate that was going to expire I got an email reminder from 
the LoTW system.

And they load in fine if you follow the book, no need to apply for a new 
one.
