[Dx-qsl] update on LOTW

Tue Oct 28 21:21:00 2003

Good point for some but I still prefer the direct QSL. Think in do time =
LOTW
might be alright but right now still qsling as many DX stations can not
afford the LOTW at present. Just need 5 for the lot so no big deal =
though
but these qsl cards are momentos of contacts made. May use this LOTW for
bands though as I have uploaded my logs already and have had hits on it =
but
not to many DX stations.

Just my 2 cents worth
