Is $ a problem ? Do I have to be an ARRL member to use LoTW? No. Anyone can submit log data to LoTW. U.S. Amateurs must be ARRL members to obtain DXCC, WAS, or VUCC awards. Amateurs residing outside the U.S. can participate in any awards. Radio is a wonderful hobby and ARRL is supported by members. jim / W1FMR
