I always upload to ClubLog & QRZlog.
I am hoping that when LOTW is rebuilt, but all our log data is GONE, I can
do a few mouse clicks and Merge my logs from ClubLog and QRZlog up to
LOTW...
-- Secondarily, Some of the smaller contests I work, like State QSO
parties, Those guys never did use LOTW, but they do use QRZlogbook. I feel
like an Elmer uploading their contact to QRZlogbook.
