[RTTY] thats very sad Gert

[Terry Gerdes]

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 ne representing our interests at the League.  Here are the 
details:
