[RTTY] thats very sad Gert - LOTW User Update

[Terry Gerdes]

RTTY ops,

I need to update my post on ARRL Officials that do not use the LOTW.  It 
turns out that Central Director: George R. Isely, W9GIG does use the LOTW 
and is listed in the HB9BZA LOTW user list.  I made a typo when I searched 
the HB9BZA list looking for W9GIG's call.  Sorry George.

That bring the total ARRL officials using LOTW to 14 and the ones not using 
LOTW to 25.

If anyone forwarded my original post to any other reflector, please forward 
this correction as well.  Thanks.

73 Terry - AB5K
