[RTTY] Now this is a tad funny about LoTW

[Joe Subich]

Frank,

If you have time to submit the Cabrillo file to the contest
sponsor at the end of a contest, it takes all of another
minute or so to run that same file through tQSL to sign it
and upload to LotW.  That is not a big imposition and would
make at least the contest QSOs available until you can catch
up with the rest via DX4WIN.

There is no "downside" to uploading the contest log even if
you eventually upload the same data from DX4WIN.  LotW will
simply update all of the previously uploaded QSOs.  They
will not even generate "dupes" in LotW unless DX4WIN changes
the time, band, or mode.

73,

    ... Joe, W4TV
