LOTW works the same way as sending your cards into the ARRL Bureau for
getting WAS and DXCC. The difference is that you don't have to send your
cards and you save money on the round trip postage. And you can see on the
ARRL website at a glance which countries you have confirmed. Otherwise it
works the same way. Cost for the award is the same. ARRL has entered the
21st century, just some hams have not entered yet. And, it is more secure
than EQSL. EQSL does not match your uploads against the uploads of ppl you
have worked. ARRL matches the uploads so there is no cheating.
