I wonder if that might cool one's enthusiasm for ANY paper-chasing. We now have virtual QSL cards---can virtual awards be far behind...?

Selling the physical awards, which many people want to have,
appears to be one of the main things paying for the cost of
running LOTW.

As long as LOTW will have bills to pay, I imagine the ARRL
will continue selling physical awards.
