[Dx-qsl] [CDXC] LoTW

[Tom Wylie]

I will not subject myself to the blackmail of these groups who demand 
dollars BEFORE putting your QSOs onto LOTW.

In this instance I did not need 5V7 in any case, but i refuse to be 
blackmailed and its time the amateur community
made known to these groups that this practuise must cease and will not 
be tolerated.

It is my experience that over my past 4 expeditions, uploading QSOs to 
LOTW during or immeditely after the expeditions makes NO DIFFERENCE 
WHATSOEVER  to the number of direct cards received.   If there is a 
difference it is so small as to be inconsequential.

Sponsors should make it clear to these groups that if they receive 
sponsorship, then this practise must cease.

I no longer see any justifiction whatsoever to even delay an LOTW upload 
for 6 months.   The folk that want a paper card, still want a paper 
card.   Not everybody subscribes to LOTW.Regards
