[VHFcontesting] LOTW and VHF

[Dan Evans]

I'm afraid I'm one of the hold outs...

I tried setting up LOTW a couple of years ago, and ran into problems.  Got
the postcard from the ARRL, and had tons of trouble getting the software to
work...  Finally gave it up.

I've been planning to take the plunge again, likely after I get FD over I'll
work on it again.

I guess what I'm saying is the "rough" roll out of LOTW was likely a big
culprit in the low return rates.  I am a pretty serious computer user, and I
had enough trouble setting it up that I gave up.  I would bet there are a
lot of other folks out there that will never try it again...  I know there
are several OT's in my local club who still refuse to use computer
logging...

BTW, if you are looking for a card from me, I will be on LOTW soon, I
promise:-)  If you don't want to wait, shoot me an email, I would be happy
to send you a card!


And, I will be running the VHF station this weekend for W9WWI field day
station in EM78!  Planning to use my Rover gear, so we will have 6, 2, 222,
& 432.  Yagi's & 100+ watts each...
