Seriously?  Did I misread what you wrote?  I need to give eQSL total
access to my LoTW account to get "verified"?  Not this ham.

Actually, signing your logs proves that you were the one that uploaded
them - nothing more.  I think some of ARRL's policies about
certificates (i.e. requiring a new certificate for a callsign with a
self-assigned indicator), but I'm OK with having to sign logs.

I have other issues with LoTW, too, but requiring stations to sign
their logs is not one of them,

Signing my logs is pretty transparent with DXLab - sorry your logger
isn't the same!
